Hassanzadeh Values a Full House

Level 8 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Nejat Hassanzadeh opened from middle position. Michael Madur on the button called and Miguel Coussement defended from the big blind.

The dealer fanned a flop of 2♦3♦3♣ and Hassanzadeh bet 5,000. Both of his opponents called to find the A♦ turn.

Hassanzadeh intended to bet but accidentally tossed in only a black chip worth 100. He was forced to min-raise to 1,500, which was enough to make Coussement fold.

Hassanzadeh eventually bet 10,000 on the 6♠ river Madur called but couldn't do much against Hassanzadeh's A♠3♠.
