Weiss Goes Runner Runner for the Nuts
Level 30
: Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante
Dennis Weiss limped the button with the J♠J♣5♦4♣ and Michael Duek called out of the small blind holding the 10♥10♦6♠4♦, Jeffrey Hakim in the big blind checked his option with the K♥Q♥8♠5♣.
The K♣8♦3♠ flop was checked to Weiss, who bet 750,000. That got rid of Duek but Hakim called with his top two pair.
That led to the A♣ turn on which Hakim checked again, Weiss bet 2,100,000 and Hakim called.
The Q♣ river gave Weiss the nut flush and Hakim checked the third street in a row. Weiss now carefully considered his next option before he eventually declared "pot" for a bet of 7,300,000.
Hakim conceded two time banks but no further chips to avoid a major setback, sending his cards into the muck.
