Dong Ends Hakim's Run
Level 9
: Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Roni Hakim had already shoved from the small blind for approximately 30,000 and was called by Nelson Dong, who was the initial raiser, to put Hakim at risk.
Roni Hakim: A♦J♣
Nelson Dong: 6♥6♦
"It's a race," Dong said before the dealer spread out a 10♣Q♥A♣ flop — pulling Hakim into the lead with a pair of aces.
It wasn't Hakim's day, however, as the 6♠ turn improved Dong to a set and left Hakim drawing slim.
The J♥ river kept Hakim second-best despite improving him to two pair and Dong was sent the pot.
