Tanios Habib saw all but 96,000 of his chips passed to Adham Makki when he doubled him up holding {A-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds} to Makki's {Q-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}.

The board ran out {8-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{4-Clubs} to see Makki double to 260,000.

The following hand Habib would double Mark Demirjian when his {J-Hearts}{8-Hearts} was unable to outdraw Demirjian's {A-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}.

The board ran out {J-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{K-Clubs}{Q-Hearts} to see Demirjian double to 200,000 as Habib was left crippled with just 3,000 in chips.

Two hands later Habib committed his last single 1,000 denomination chip to the pot with {K-Hearts}{5-Diamonds} and managed to see that push to 11,000 on a board reading {5-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}{7-Clubs} against both the blinds.

A few hands after that Habib would perish when his {2-Diamonds}{2-Spades} was unable to improve against the {q-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs} of Chadi Ojeil on a final board of {A-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{10-Hearts}.
