Hassan Hakim

After sending a few good-sized pots to Thien Nguyen, Hassan El Hakim was down to 2,850,000 and moved all in from his button. Cheri Ivan folded her small blind but Nguyen quickly called from the big.

Nguyen: AdQh
El Hakim: QsJd

El Hakim was dominated by the big ace-queen and could not find a miracle on the 5d5s3s7h3d board to exit in third place.
