Ilan Hadida (Boca Raton, FL) was not shy at all in front of the camera, happily posing as one of the chip leaders in the Flight 1E field.

The tournament area is growing by the moment, as tables are now scattered across all areas of the poker room.  Walking past Table 13, we caught a three-way all-in, with Ilan Hadida covering both of his opponents (and holding the best hand with K♥ K♦).  Hadida was up against Q♥ 10♥ and 5♣ 5♦, primed to win a pot worth close to 20,000.  

The dealer would spread a flop of 8♥ 4♥ 3♠, giving one of his opponents a flush draw, and the other backdoor outs to a straight.  Even though both players were rooting for the cards they needed, the turn and river would stay clean for Hadida, who would chip up to 50,000 with the pot.
