Habib's Rollercoaster With Queens Finally Ends

Level 4 : 100/200, 25 ante

Bassan Habib was more than happy to tell the media of his demise from the tournament today.

Just before the break, Habib played three hands with the last one sending him to the rail.

In the first, a player raised to 600 and was called. Habib then re-raised with {q-}{q-} to 1,650. Both opponents called.

The flop came {q-}{7-}{3-} and the first player bet 1,700 and was called. Habib then moved all in for 11,900. The original better called with less behind. The other player folded.

Habib's opponent tabled {k-}{k-} and was awarded the double when the {k-} dropped on the turn.

A short-stacked Habib then opened to 700 with {q-}{q-} two hands later and was met with a raise to 1,700. He called.

The flop came {q-}{10-}{4-} and Habib checked. His opponent put enough chips to put Habib all in. He called. Habib's opponent then showed {k-}{k-} but couldn't improve resulting in Habib doubling up.

The final hand saw a player raise and get called by Habib holding {j-}{j-}.

The flop came {6-}{3-}{j-} and Habib check-raised all in after his opponent bet. Habib waited as his opponent went into the tank for several minutes before making the call.

He was up against {q-}{q-}, and as you may have expected, a {q-} dropped on the turn and Habib was done.
