Deeb Delivers a Knockout While Getting a Massage
Samuel Ju raised from early position to 2,500 and got called by Nikolay Zhurnalov & Gassan Azzam in the next seats before Shaun Deeb made it 12,500 from the hijack. Ju called, Zhurnalov folded, and Azzam called.
They went to a flop of K♠A♦7♠ three-ways where Ju checked, and Azzam shoved for 31,900. Deeb thought about it for a while then shoved, and Ju folded.
Gassan Azzam: 3♠2♠ 
Shaun Deeb: A♣J♣
Azzam had a flush draw and needed to connect with it as Deeb had flopped top pair. The A♥ on the turn gave Deeb trips, which removed some of the outs of Azzam. Azzam momentarily thought he had won when the J♠ landed on the river, but quickly realized that Deeb had improved to a full house, then vacated his seat.
During the entire hand, Deeb was getting a massage on his arm, which must have felt good as he single-handedly stacked his chips while his other was being rubbed by the masseuse.
