Bittar Spikes the Flop to Double Off the Chip Leader
Level 26
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Kamal Bittar had a raise to 505,000 in front of him from the hijack before overnight chip leader James Hobbs reraised to 1,200,000 in middle position. Bittar then shoved all in for 5,885,000 and Hobbs snap-called.
Kamal Bittar: 
James Hobbs: 
Hobbs was a big favorite to extend his chip lead until the 
flop gave Bittar a set. The 
on the turn gave Hobbs more outs to a straight, but he missed the 
river as Bittar secured a massive double up.
