Hassan Hakim

Action has been slow as the field cruised into the late parts of the day. The money bubble is still some distance in the future and they will hit another break before they get there.

The field dropped one spot closer in a battle of Poker Tampa regulars. Herbert Woodbery open-shoved for 52,000 from the hijack and Hassan Hakim called on the button to put him at risk.

Hakim: Ah9c
Woodbery: 3d3h

“Fair fight,” said a tablemate.

Woodbery needed his threes to hold to double up but Hakim paired his ace on the Ac7s2h flop to take the lead. The Js turn and 5h produced no other three or running cards to save Woodbery’s buy-in.

Hassan Hakim – 245,500 (49 bb)
