"I can't win!"

John Tabatabai
John Tabatabai
Last year's WSOPE Main Event runner-up John Tabatabai is hard at work over on Table 4 accumulating chips, though this game can be quite easy when your opponent throws up the white flag and surrenders.

Tabatabai opened the pot with a 350 bet on a {10-Clubs} {3-Clubs} {6-Hearts} flop. His opponent made the call and then both players proceeded to check the {Q-Clubs} that came on the turn.

The {6-Clubs} on the river not only paired the board, but it also put four clubs out there. Tabatabai then fired a 1,000 bullet and his opponent just smiled, staring wide-eyed at his hold cards.

"I can't win..." the man said.

"I'm sorry?" Tabatabai replied.

"I can't win!" he reiterated.

"That makes me feel a lot better!" Tabatabai confessed, at which point his opponent revealed {5-Spades} {4-Spades} -- barely enough to beat the board.

The pot moved Tabatabai closer to the 10,000 mark on the day, as he now sits with 9,400 in chips.
