The Rockets Are Making the Rounds

Hasan Habib, Pat Pezzin, and two other players took a flop of {9-Hearts} {7-Hearts} {2-Diamonds}. The big blind checked to Habib and he bet 4,000. Pezzin was next to act and he pushed all in for just under 20,000. The cutoff and the big blind folded but Habib made the call. The players showed:

Pezzin: {A-Clubs} {A-Spades}
Habib: {10-Hearts} {8-Hearts}

Despite a monster draw for Habib, he finished second best when the turn and river came the {Q-Spades} and {8-Clubs} respectively. Pezzin stacked the pot and now sits on a stack of approximately 46,000.
