Imad Saab - 3rd Place

From the small blind, Imad Saab got the rest of his chips into the middle with {K-Hearts}

{K-Hearts}

{5-Clubs}

. The towering chip stack and the {Q-Hearts}

{Q-Hearts}

{8-Clubs}

of Nabil Matta would put him at risk for his tournament life.

Matta would find a pair on the flop, and in the end, the board ran {K-Diamonds}

{K-Diamonds}

{10-Hearts}

{8-Diamonds}

{5-Diamonds}

{10-Clubs}

. Two pair takes it down for the big stack, eliminating Imad Saab in 3rd place. For his work, he'll pocket $211,800, bigger than any poker payout ever awarded in Lebanon. And there's still two more payouts to go!
