Habib Finishes Off Khalaf
Level 18
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
After just losing a the bulk of his stack, Marsel Khalaf had his short stack in the middle with a few other players in the hand. On the Q♦9♦A♦ flop, Walid Bou Habib bet got the others to fold, leaving him heads up with Khalaf.
Marsel Khalaf: K♠10♦ 
Walid Bou Habib: 9♠9♣
Habib had flopped bottom set but had to dodge the flush and straight draw of Khalaf, who was looking for a way back into the tournament. However, running fives gave Habib a full house on the 5♣5♠ runout, which meant Khalaf was sent to the payout desk.
