Sabat Doubles Through Patchell, Gets Into Small Spat With Lawson

Level 18 : 4,000/8,000, 500 ante
Eddy Sabat
Eddy Sabat

Eddy Sabat opened to 18,000 from late position prompting Joel Patchell to three-bet to 51,000 from the blinds. Sabat then four-bet to 83,000, leaving 91,500 behind, and Patchell tank-called.

The flop fell {2-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}, Patchell instantly moved all in and Sabat snapped it off.

Patchell: {10-Diamonds}{10-Spades}
Sabat: {a-Spades}{a-Clubs}

The dealer began to burn and turn a card but the ESPN camera crews weren't ready yet and he put the burn card back on top of the deck. Finally, when cued, the dealer burned a card and turned the {6-Clubs}. There was then a pause for reaction shots, the crew gave one last cue and the dealer burned a final card and delivered the {k-Clubs} on the river.

Sabat's aces held doubling him to 355,000 chips while Patchell dropped to 245,000.

After the hand tablemate Ted Lawson asked for the floor because he thought Sabat made a string bet preflop. The entire table, including the dealer, defended Sabat saying he made no forward motion nor did he cross the line when cutting out chips. Lawson eventually waived a white flag and the floor was not called, but there is definitely some tension between he and the rest of the table.
