What a Turn and River to Keep Habib Alive
Chino Rheem opened from the cutoff seat to 80,000 and action folded to Hasan Habib in the big blind. He reraised all in for a little over 500,000. Rheem made the call.
Rheem:
Habib:
Jason Mercier's rail has gotten on the side of Habib whenever he's not involved with their favorite Mercier. Brent Hanks yelled out that all Habib would have to do to win this one is say, "Yeahhhpp!" Habib did so and off to the flop they went.
The flop came down and Habib missed. Still, Mercier's rail cheered hard for him. Some yelled for a six and some others yelled for a jack and a three to come in succession. The dealer dealt the on the turn and now Habib could chop if another three fell. Hanks had other things in mind and for some reason called for an eight, which would be no help whatsoever to Habib.
The river card was dealt and the smacked the felt. The crowd erupted as Habib stood behind his chair pumping his arm in a tomahawk chop sort of way and yelling, "Yeahhhpp!" Chop it up boys.
