Polito Puts an Awful Beat on Hachoumi
Level 15
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Juan Gozalo Ares raised to 9,000 in middle position and Hicham Hachoumi called in the hijack. Laurent Polito then three-bet to 33,000 on the button.
Ares folded, but Hachoumi four-bet to 65,000. Polito then moved all in and Hachoumi snap-called for around 110,000.
Hicham Hachoumi: A♠A♣ 
Laurent Polito: K♠3♣
Polito was caught making a move as Hachoumi showed down aces. The flop came 7♠A♥6♥ and Hachoumi improved to top set to take a big lead in the pot.
The turn was the 5♥, while the river was the 4♣ and a collective gasp arose from the table as Polito made a running straight. A stunned Hachoumi shot out of his seat before making his exit a few spots short of the money.
