Sabat Doubles Up Tucker

Despite getting down early on in the day, Edward Sabat has built his chip stack up pretty nicely as of late. Just recently, Sabat was involved in a hand with Koray Tucker on the flop a {J-Spades} {10-Clubs} {8-Hearts}. Sabat called Tucker's final all-in bet and the cards were revealed.

Tucker turned up {K-Spades} {J-Hearts} for top pair. Carter Gill was onlooking as he watched his good friend Sabat turn over {J-Clubs} {9-Diamonds} for top pair as well, but a straight draw to go along with it. "The nine is live, too," mentioned Sabat.

The turn came the {5-Spades} and the river fell the {3-Diamonds}. Sabat was unable to improve and dropped back down to 6,000 chips. Tucker moved up to just over 4,000 on the hand.
