Easy Come, Easy Go

Ali Khalil raised to 27,000 preflop from under the gun and David Saab was the lone caller on the button.

As the flop was spread {A-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{4-Hearts} Khalil asked Saab how many chips he was playing behind. When the answer came 170,000, Khalil bet that amount to put Saab all in.

Saab instantly announced "Call!" and flipped {7-Hearts}{7-Clubs} for a set of sevens! Khalil was in trouble with his {A-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}.

The turn gave Khalil some hope with the {8-Hearts} but the river was the {Q-Spades} to double Saab up to 290,000 with Khalil now back down to 260,000.
