Zaken was ahead the entire way with his split queens, but he improved to two pair on fifth street and a higher two pair on the river. Hui never improved beyond a pair of deuces, so Zaken doubled up to knock Hui down to just 9,000 in chips.
Barak Zaken – 178,000 (4 BB)
Phil Hui – 9,000 (<1 BB)
The next hand, Hui put 5,000 in for the ante, and called all in blind for 4,000 on third street against John Binns and Lorne Kanover
