Hakim Folds the Best Hand
Level 31
: Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante
Jeffrey Hakim limped in from the small blind with K♥J♠9♣8♥ and Dennis Weiss made it 1,500,000 in the big blind with Q♥J♣5♥4♠. Hakim quickly called and the flop of A♥7♣3♥ was spread across the felt, giving both players a flush draw.
Hakim checked to Weiss who continued with a bet of 1,400,000 and Hakim just called. The turn was the 9♠ and Hakim checked again. Weiss sized up a large bet of 5,200,000 and Hakim went into the tank for a minute before laying down the best hand.
