{10-Diamonds}

{Q-Hearts}

{10-Clubs}

{K-Clubs}

{7-Hearts}

in favor of Greenwood who made Broadway, knocking Zahmat down to just 40,000 in chips.

One hand later, Zahmat was dealt {A-Clubs}

{A-Clubs}

{10-Diamonds}

and got it all in against Schultz, who held Zahmat's new least favorite hand, {A-Hearts}

{A-Hearts}
