Franco Brunetti Eliminates Hasan Habib in Massive Three-way All-in

The player in Seat 9 limps in from early position, Franco Brunetti limps in from Seat 1, Steve Brecher limps in, and Hasan Habib moves all-in for his last 6,000.

The player in Seat 9 reraises to 15,000 and Brunetti calls, while Brecher folds.  The flop falls [QhTs5d] and both players check.  The turn brings the [5c] and Seat 9 checks again, while Brunetti fires out a bet.  The other player calls and they watch as the river brings the [8c].  Seat 9 checks, Brunetti announces he is all-in for around 16,000 more and, after some thought, the other player calls.

The player in Seat 9 shows [Ad][As] for aces and fives and is visibly frustrated when Brunetti shows [QdQs] for queens full of fives.  Habib also has a full house, but his [Tc][Th] are not enough to rake the pot and he is eliminated, while Brunetti chips up to over 100,000.

Though Habib was eliminated far from the money, it is worth noting that he intended to donate 10% of any profits from this event to Pakistani flood relief.

Franco Brunetti – 105,000
Hasan Habib – eliminated
