Dream Start for Hulme; Disaster for Nasreddine

Level 33
: Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante

On the first hand of the final day, Stephen Song raised to 500,000 from under the gun and was called by Rania Nasreddine from the cutoff. Andrew Hulme three-bet to 1,650,000 from the small blind, which forced out Song. Nasreddine back-jammed as the bigger stack, and Hulme quickly called off his stack of 5,525,000.
Andrew Hulme A?A?
Rania Nasreddine: 9?9?
The 10?6?4? flop and Q? turn kept Hulme in front, and his double-up was confirmed after the 8? river.
The hand left Nasreddine with 11 big blinds, while Hulme shot up to third in the overall leaderboard.
