Habib Slipping

Eric Drache completed the bring-in with the {K-Diamonds} in the door. Hasan Habib was looking at the {10-Clubs}, and he made the call.

Drache: (X-X) / {K-Diamonds} {5-Diamonds} {6-Hearts} {8-Hearts} / (X)
Habib: (X-X) / {10-Clubs} {5-Spades} {2-Diamonds} {8-Spades} / (X)

On fourth and fifth streets, Drache was the one doing the betting, with Habib calling along. On sixth street, Drache slowed down, and Habib put in a bet. On seventh street, Drache checked again, and Habib fired once more. Drache quickly called, turning over {9-Diamonds} {9-Hearts} {A-Diamonds}. Habib hadn't yet looked at his final card, and he began to very slowly squeeze it out. After a moment, he shook his head, slipped his cards under, and sent them into the muck.

Habib would go on to lose the next pot he played as well, with betting all the way to seventh street. His chip stack is hurting; he's down under 500,000 from the million he once held.
