Hassan Babajane was all in preflop holding [Ac][Qh] and flipping against Mike O'Connell's [5d][5c]. The [9c][5h][6c] made Mike a huge favorite, but Hassan could backdoor a flush. Hassan was looking for a club to hit the turn to give him some hope, but instead the [5s] fell on the turn to give Mike unbeatable quads. The meaningless [3s] river meant Hassan would have to settle for $6,454 for 2nd place.
Mike will take home $10,441 for his first place finish, along with the World Series of Poker Circuit ring. All smiles for his winner picture, Mike said he didn't care about the money, he only cared about winning the tournament. Congratulations, Mike!
