"I Hate This Game...But I Love It"

Level 6 : 300/600, 600 ante
Sammy Aweida
Sammy Aweida

Sammy Aweida found himself below 20,000 after recently losing an all-in preflop situation with ace-jack to pocket tens where he flopped a jack and turned trips, only to see a ten fall on the river to give his opponent a full house and cede the double. Moments later, he got the rest of his stack all in prelfop in the cutoff against an opponent in middle position.

Sammy Aweida: {q-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}
Opponent: {a-Hearts}{q-Hearts}

The flop {8-Clubs}{k-Hearts}{5-Hearts} gave Aweida a sweat as his opponent found himself with a dozen outs to send him to the rail. That number was reduced by three as Aweida picked up a set on the turn {q-Spades}, and the river {2-Spades} completed the runout safely to score him the double.

"I hate this game," joked Aweida after the runout completed. "But I love it."
