On the first hand of three-handed play, Charles Chua folded the button. Sitting in the small blind, Edward Sabat raised to 145,000. Diwei Huang made the call in position.

The flop came all Broadway, {J-Spades}

. Sabat wasted no time in firing out a continuation bet of 220,000 that Huang called. He slowed down when the {K-Clubs}

hit the turn, choosing to check it over to Huang. Huang obliged with a bet of 150,000 that Sabat called.

The river was another king, the {K-Spades}

. "The board is all paint," said MC Tony Dunst. Sabat took close to a minute before betting 500,000. After a minute and a half, Huang called. "Yes!" exclaimed an excited Sabat as he turned over {K-Hearts}

for a full house, kings full of queens. Huang mucked.

Edward Sabat has moved around the table from seat one to seat six. Some players might be superstitious and prefer to maintain their seat for the duration of the final table, but Sabat is obviously considerate of the dealers with all three players now seated at the same end of the table.

The flop came {Q-Clubs}
