El Mostafa Belhayate opened in the cutoff to 11,000 and David Fialho opted to three-bet to 34,000 on the button. It folded back to Belhayate who thought about his move for a minute and shoved for a stack around 230,000.
Fialho quickly called with the higher stack to create the following showdown:
El Mostafa Belhayate: 
David Fialho: 
Belhayate was in great shape for a double up right before the bubble but the board brought 
to give a set of queens to Fialho and bust Belhayate in brutal fashion.
