Squeezy Sabat Surges

Level 8 : 250/500, 50 ante

In middle position, a player opened to 1,000, and Eddy Sabat flatted. On the button, a third player three-bet to 3,500, and the initial raiser flatted. Now Sabat snuck in another raise to 14,500 total, folding the player behind him. The initial raiser shoved, though, putting Sabat to the decision for all ~35,000 of his chips. Snap-call, and the cards were on their backs.

Showdown
Raiser: {Q-Diamonds} {10-Hearts}
Sabat: {K-Clubs} {K-Spades}

"I thought you were squeezing," the raiser said in a misread. The board ran out clean for Sabat, coming {5-Clubs} {2-Clubs} {4-Clubs} {9-Spades} {8-Diamonds} to double him up into big-stack territory with 80,500 chips.
