Choi Triples Up, Kamhazi Doubles

Level 12 : 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Stanley Choi shoved from the hijack for 92,000 and so did Jonathan Kamhazi on the button with the bigger stack. Manig Loeser asked for a count and saw he had Kamhazi covered and decided to also shove. Ben Yu quickly folded his big blind.

Stanley Choi: {a-Hearts}{2-Hearts}
Jonathan Kamhazi: {A-Clubs}{Q-Spades}
Manig Loeser: {J-Spades}{j-Hearts}

The flop came {4-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} for both Choi and Kamhazi to flop a higher pair than Loeser with Choi also picking up the flush draw.

The turn was the {q-Diamonds} to now give Kamhazi two pair. Choi needed a heart to triple up and Loeser needed a jack to eliminate both of his opponents.

The river completed the board with the {6-Hearts} to give Choi the flush to triple up. After Kamhazi had paid Choi, he had 115,000 left which he would double for through Loeser.

While Fox made his way out of the tournament area, O'Dwyer asked the dealer to turn around Fox's cards which were {7-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}.
