After an opening raise to 900 by a player in middle position, the player on the button three-bet jammed for his last 17,700.

Eddie Sabat was laying in wait with his {Q-Diamonds}{q-Clubs} though, and he moved all in himself, putting about 19,000 in the pot before trying to goad the original raiser into a light call.

"Could be an early Christmas for you..." said Sabat, feigning weakness.

The bait failed to attract any fish, however, and the preflop opener mucked his cards. Sabat rolled over his queens and found himself far in front of the jammer's {j-Spades}{j-Clubs}.

The final board ran out {8-Hearts}{k-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} to keep the ladies in the lead, and Sabat earned the double up to move back above the starting stack.
