Sabat Chipping Up Early, Looking to Add EPT Title on Top of APPT Title

Level 2 : 75/150, 0 ante

In a four-way limped pot, the flop was {A-Spades}{A-Hearts}{K-Clubs}. The big blind, the under-the-gun limper and the middle-position limper all checked to Eddy Sabat. He fired a bet of 450 and easily won the pot as his opponents quickly released their hands.

On the next hand, an under-the-gun player raised to 350 and action folded to Sabat in the hijack seat. He three-bet to 900 and the original raiser made the call to see the {A-Clubs}{K-Hearts}{6-Clubs} flop. Both players checked and the turn brought the {2-Spades}. Both checked again and the river completed the board with the {J-Spades}. After his opponent checked, Sabat fired 1,275 and his opponent folded.

Sabat may not have an EPT title under his belt just yet, but he'll be looking to change that here in this event. One title Sabat does hold is a PokerStars.net APPT Macau title from 2008. He also final tabled the 2010 PokerStars.net APPT Sydney Grand Final and placed sixth. On EPT's, Sabat has cashed twice in the PokerStars Caribbean Adventure Main Event. This past year, he ran very deep and placed 30th for $66,000.
