No Comeback for Saber

Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Ahmed Abdella opened to 8,000 from under the gun and Fernando Santa Maria three-bet to 23,000 from the button. Hatim Saber moved all in for 32,000 from the big blind and Abdella reshoved with a covering stack, forcing Santa Maria out of the pot to leave Saber at risk for the third consecutive hand.

Hatim Saber: 88
Ahmed Abdella: KK

Saber could not catch an eight on the 2J479 runout and was sent to the rail despite a valiant effort to spin up his short stack while Abdella collected the last of his chips.

Ahmed Abdella
Ahmed Abdella

Hatim Saber opened to 3,200 from the button and was called by Ahmed Abdella in the big blind.

The flop came 752. Abdella checked, Saber bet 3,000, Abdella check-raised to 9,500 and Saber called.

Abdella bet 14,000 on the 3 turn and this time Saber opted to fold.

Abdella had already done a great job building a stack before this hand and is currently the chip leader by a wide margin over the rest of the field.

Elsewhere in the tournament area, Sergi Perez was recently eliminated.
