Hakim the Dream

Level 3 : 0/0, 50 ante

We heard a raucous cheer go up in the Brasilia Room's Silver section, and after a bit of investigation, we found out why.

Clement Hakim was all in for his last 2,300 or so after the flop came {j-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{k-Hearts}, and he was called in two spots. When the cards were showed down, Hakim found his {j-Hearts}{5-Hearts} was trailing the {A-Clubs}{a-Diamonds} and {k-}{10-} held by his two opponents, but the {q-Hearts} on the turn sealed his triple up, and gave rise to the loud celebration we heard across the room.
