Hajj Flipped Out
Level 18
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Alain Hajj had his last 65,000 in the middle from the cutoff and was put at risk by Andrija Cvetkovic, who had opened from early position.
Alain Hajj: K♦Q♦ 
Andrija Cvetkovic: 9♦9♠
Hajj took the lead on the 5♠Q♠A♠ flop but Cvetkovic had plenty of outs after picking up a flush draw. The 8♠ dropped on the turn which ended the hand as Cvetkovic made his flush, ending Hajj's tournament.
A meaningless K♣ dropped on the river for an extra bit of salt in the wound for Hajj, and Cvetkovic's stack grew to around 1,300,000.
