Set Over Set, Flush Draw Hits, Millions of Chips Change Hands
Thomas Saminadin raised to 160,000 from the hijack and was called by the button, Sal Al Fakih in the small blind and Frederic Breton called in the big blind.
The flop came 8♦3♦6♠. Action checked to Saminadin, who bet 250,000. Al Fakih called and Breton reraised to 700,000. Saminadin then moved all in for 2,790,000. Al Fakih called with a shorter stack and Breton called to make it a three way all in worth millions of chips. Players flipped their cards.
Sal Al Fakih: 6♥6♣
Thomas Saminadin: K♦J♦
Frederic Breton: 3♠3♣
Breton had a set of threes and Al Fakih had a set of sixes. He screamed out in joy. Saminadin had a flush draw. The turn came the 7♦ and the river the 4♣.
Saminadin hit his flush on the turn to win the pot and chip up to 5,700,000. Al Fakih was eliminated from the tournament and Breton was left with around 2,500,000. It was a game changing pot, one that left Al Fakih unhappy and Saminadin counting what was now one of the biggest stacks.
