[user46298]

Kabbaj: so near yet so far

We're down to one table after shortish-stacked John Kabbaj moved all in preflop over the top of a Vanessa Rousso raise. For 130,000 more, she said, "I have to call," turning over {A-Clubs}

{A-Clubs}

{Q-Hearts}

. Kabbaj shrugged and showed {9-Hearts}

{9-Hearts}

{9-Spades}

.

The flop brought {Q-Diamonds}

{Q-Diamonds}

{J-Clubs}

{5-Diamonds}

and Kabbaj was getting ready to shake everyone's hand as the turn and river came {5-Clubs}

{5-Clubs}

and

{10-Hearts}

. They both behaved with the utmost decorum, although secretly I am sure Vanessa Rousso was delighted to be heading to the final table as the new chip leader.
