Habib Makes Big Call

A huge pot just played out resulting in Hasan Habib's double up.

Habib had raised to 14,000 from the cutoff and Howie Kahan called in the big blind. Kahan check-raised Habib's 15,000 bet to 45,000 on the flop and was called. They both checked the {4-Clubs} turn.

On the {A-Clubs} river, Kahan moved all in for 177,000 and Habib made the call. Kahan showed {A-Spades} {A-Hearts} for the rivered set of aces. Habib had {6-Clubs} {5-Diamonds} for a minutely better flush to double up and leave Kahan with just a few thousand left.
