Noel Jaber once had around 1,000,000 in his stack but has lost some and now sits with 800,000.
In the latest hand Jaber played, Anthony Xu raised from the hijack and Jaber called in the cutoff. Kahle Burns also called from the small blind.
On the 10♣J♦K♠ flop, Burns checked and Xu fired 29,000. Jaber called and Burns folded. The 4♣ landed on the turn and Xu didn't slow down as he fired 118,000. Jaber thought for some time but ultimately decided on a fold,

It didn't take long for Anthony Xu to get his hands on the chip lead!
The action was missed but on a full board of 4♣10♣3♦5♦8♥, there were around 200,000 chips in the middle when Xu fired 160,000. Noel Jaber snap-called.
Xu then revealed the Cowboys with K♠K♥, and Jaber mucked.
There's a new sheriff in town!

Noel Jaber was seen raking in a massive pot and he recalled the hand to PokerNews.
Jaber raised from under the gun and called a three-bet from Daniel Neilson from the small blind. The flop came eight-high and Jaber open-shoved around 500,000, which Neilson called for slightly less.
Daniel Neilson: JxJx 
Noel Jaber: 10x10x
Jaber was in terrible shape but a 10x on the turn saw him improve to a set, ending Neilson's run!

In a button on small blind on big blind clash - John Perry, Adam Kharman, and Martin Finger had their stacks in the middle.
Adam Kharman: J♣J♥
Martin Finger: Q♠Q♣
John Perry: A♠6♥
Perry had both players covered but the worst of it, with Finger being the big favorite to scoop the big pot. The flop came 8♠K♠K♦, keeping the queens of Finger well in the lead. Perry did pick up a few extra outs on the 6♦ turn, but it was still Finger's to lose.
When the 6♠ hit the river, Perry made trips to crack the two big pairs and score a double knockout!
