A player in Seat 9 limps in, Franco Brunetti calls behind in Seat 1, Steve Brecher calls, and Hasan Habib moves all-in for his last 6,000. The player in Seat 9 then reraises to 15,000 total, Brunetti calls, and Brecher folds.
Both players check the [QhTs5d] flop and Seat 9 checks again when the [5c] hits on the turn. Brunetti bets out and the other player thinks, then calls. The river brings the [8c] and Seat 9 checks again. Brunetti announces he is all-in for an additional 16,000 or so.
After more deliberation, the other player calls and shows [AdAs] for aces and fives. Brunetti tables [QdQs] for queens full and Habib turns up [TcTh] for an inferior full house. Habib is eliminated, the player in Seat 9 is left with just 600 chips, and Brunetti chips up to 105,000.
Habib was eliminated well before the money, but he had pledged 10% of any winnings he had in this event to Pakistani flood relief.
Franco Brunetti – 105,000
Hasan Habib – eliminated
