Hady El Asmar
Hady El Asmar

Joao Simao opened from the hijack and raised to 35,000. Hady El Asmar three-bet to 85,000 and Simao called.

Both players checked a flop of {6-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{3-Hearts} and saw the {6-Diamonds} on the turn. El Asmar called a bet of around 100,000 on the turn and then saw the {k-Hearts} on the river.

After a short pause Simao shoved for his remaining chips. El Asmar called and Simao showed {2-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}, but the Lebanese player slammed {j-Hearts}{8-Hearts} down triumphantly for the rivered flush.

This hand catapulted El Asmar to over 1,000,000 chips whilst Simao was left with under 300,000.
