Pass The Rockets

A player raised from early position to 6,000 and David Benefield flat called before Hasan Habbib made it an additional 26,000 to play from the big blind. The action then got a little crazy. The early position player moved all in for 36,000, as did Benefield for all of his 100,000 chips. Habbib raised his eyebrows and folded {J-Clubs}{J-Diamonds} face up.

EP Player: {Q-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}
Benefield: {A-Spades}{A-Clubs}

The board landed {K-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}{9-Spades} and Benefield takes it down to eliminate his opponent.

However Habib got some revenge a few minutes later when he picked up {A-Hearts}{A-Diamonds} himself and got some value after check-calling against Benefield on a {K-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{7-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} board.
