Habib Flushes Off Venneri's Kings
Level 7
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Four players built a pot of around 50,000 as they went to a flop of 9?4?6?. Antonino Venneri then moved all in for 145,000 in the small blind.
Stephane Gabarre folded in early position, while Youssef Habib reshoved in the hijack. Zaid Al-Khashab got out of the way from the button, leaving Venneri and Habib heads-up.
Antonino Venneri: K?K? 
Youssef Habib: A?J?
Venneri was ahead with his kings, while Habib was on the nut flush draw. Habib didn't have to wait long to hit his draw, as the Q? fell on the turn to leave Venneri drawing dead. The river was the 2? and Habib took down the big pot to send Venneri to the rail.
