John Kabbaj Does Not Like Aces...

...Not many people would when the following occurs in back-to-back hands:

Hand #1: Facing an early position pre-flop raise to 800, Kabbaj re-raises to 2,800 from the big blind. His opponent calls after a mini-dwell and the flop comes:

{9-Spades}

John checks and then moves in over the top of his opponent's 3,000 bet, but gets called instantly. The players show:

Kabbaj: {Q-Clubs}

Opponent:

The turn and river bring no help and John is left with just 1,900 in chips.

Hand #2: The UTG player opens for a raise, which is called by a player in late position before the action gets around to John, who moves all in from the small blind; UTG calls and the late position player gets out of the way.

John shows a solid {J-Diamonds}
