David Saab had just built himself back up a playable stack when he once again ran into trouble. It started with a raise by Tom Zaja from middle position to 1,600. Kent Hunter called that raise from late position before Saab reraised all in for 22,450 from the small blind. Zaja made what would turn out to be an easy call all in for 17,000. Hunter open-mucked and said he would have called Saab if Zaja had folded.

No matter which player called him, Saab would have found himself on the short end of the stick. The board ran out , and just like that Saab finds himself back with the super short-stacks, retaining just 5,450 chips.
