Fady Khabbaz

Fady Khabbaz opened and a player on his left moved all in for around 1,100,000. Bryann Tiam moved all in over the top and Fady Khabbaz called for his 1,700,000 stack.

Opponent: {a-Spades}{5-Clubs}
Fady Khabbaz: {q-Spades}{q-Clubs}
Bryann Tiam: {a-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}

The dealer spread out {q-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{3-Hearts} on the flop and Khabbaz took a commanding lead. An unthinkable {a-Hearts} peeled off on the turn, shifting the lead back to Tiam who held on to it when the {2-Clubs} completed the board, sending both of his opponents to the payout desk.
