Massive Stack For Kabbani
"When players walk past the tables, their eyes stop at Adel Kabbani's mountain of chips. The French player has 980,000, "even if the day has not started well".
As players start to take fewer risks because the bubble isn't that far away anymore, Kabbani uses his stack to apply pressure. For example, during one orbit, he opened almost every hand, varying his bet sizes. Most of the time, it worked, but sometimes it didn't.
In one hand, he opened to 12,000 from middle position and was called by the big blind. On 9♣Q♦K♠, Kabbani bet another 15,000, and he was called once again.
But on the turn 10♠, both players quickly checked. Finally, on the river 7♣, the big blind took the lead, betting 25,000. Kabbani snap-folded and moved on to the next hand.
