Samy Zakhary Takes The Threeway

We arrived just before the dealer laid out the flop in what was obviously a three-bet pot. Samy Zakhary, Bernard Samaha and Alexey Rybin were the three people soon staring at a [Jc] [9d] [5s] flop; the action checks through to Zakhary who moves all in for 65,800, Samaha calls and Rybin mucks.

Showdown

Zakhary: [Qc] [Qs]
Samaha: [Jh] [Th]

Top pair for Samaha, but an over pair for Zakhary. The [2h], and [4c], finish off the action and Zakhary moves up to 180,000. Samaha, who was once as high as 600,000, is now down to 320,000; Rybin is the new chip leader with 630,000.
