Tabatabai Finally Takes the Plunge - and the Water's Fine

Tabatabai: prescient?
Dwindling to desperation level, John Tabatabai didn't look even slightly perturbed that his stack was under 28k and falling. Relaxed as he's appeared for two days, he finally made a stand reraising Joe Hachem's cutoff raise of 6k to 16k from the big blind, which was effectively moving all in. A verbal, "All in/call," was over in seconds and they were on their backs.
"One overcard?" pleaded Tabatabai, who tabled . Nope, Hachem held .
Flop:
"Oh, I'll get there, don't worry," said Tabatabai, calmly.
Turn:
River:
"Oh, I've got there." This time that's true. The straight wins him a double up and a chance to get back in the game.
