Phil Hui

Phil Hui was all in from middle position for 1,675,000 with KhKd, and needed it to hold to stay alive against the AdQs of Carlo Rodriguez.

The board came Jd10d7dKs7h, and Rodriguez flopped a higher diamond flush draw and turned an ace-high straight, only to see Hui river a full house, kings full of sevens, to win the pot and double up in chips.
