Hasan Habib Scoops a Massive Pot

Yup, that's a wheel
Yup, that's a wheel
Stud-8

Jason Gray (X)(X){4-Diamonds} {3-Clubs} {A-Clubs} {7-Spades} (X)
Justin Smith (X)(X) {K-Spades} {6-Hearts} {9-Hearts} {Q-Clubs} (X)
Hasan Habib (X)(X){2-Spades} {4-Clubs} {10-Clubs} {4-Hearts} (X)

There was already a huge pot brewing when we picked this hand up on fifth street. Jason Gray bet out, Justin Smith raised, Hasan Habib called and Gray called. Gray led out again on sixth. After tanking for a bit, Justin Smith decided to raise, Hasan Habib three-bet, Gray four-bet, Smith called and Habib capped it at five bets. Both players called. On seventh street the action checked to Habib, who bet. Gray called and Smith again went into the tank.

"I need a minute. Sorry guys," said Smith as he pondered his decision. He ended up making the call.

Gray showed {A-Hearts} {6-Clubs} {7-Diamonds} for aces up and a 7-6-4-3-A low. Habib had him, though with {3-Spades} {5-Spades} {A-Diamonds} for a wheel. Smith mucked and Habib scooped a huge pot, taking his stack up to 280,000. Smith was down to 217,400 while Gray was at 110,500.
