Kabbaj Doubles through Makowsky

Hold'em

"All right, pot-limit hold'em," said the dealer as he tossed the cards around the table for the first hand of the second orbit.

It folded to John Kabbaj in middle position. "Pot," he said quietly, the upturn at the end of the word indicating his questioning how much that would be. "28 dimes," called Tony Cousineau from the other end of the table, helping out. Kabbaj pushed a stack of 28,000 before him.

All folded to Daniel Makowsky in the big blind, who sat back in his chair and stretched his arms. Finally he announced a pot-sized reraise. Kabbaj reraised all in, and Makowsky called.

Makowsky showed {A-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds} and Kabbaj {Q-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}. The board came {K-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}. Kabbaj gave a little affirmative nod of the head there when the last community card was dealt, clearly glad that he'd survived. He's now up to about 230,000, while Makowsky now has 445,000.
