The Madness of King George

Level 15 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

George: {Q-}{7-} / {7-Spades}{4-Spades}{3-Spades}{Q-} / {K-}
Habib: {Q-}{Q-} / {9-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{J-Spades} / {J-}

Christopher George had put out bets on sixth and seventh, getting called both times and showing queens and sevens. Habib sweated his final card needing a nine, ten or jack to make a better two pair, "It's paint..." he said, meaning George was now a slight favourite for the hand. But Habib flipped it and it was a jack to give him the pot.

George was stunned and quite upset by the sweat, saying he wished Habib hadn't sweated the last card and just wished he'd flipped it straight away. Nevertheless Habib took a decent chunk out of the former chip leader and moves up to a more comfortable stack.
