David Saab just lost a race to James Broom that knocked him down to 194,000 in chips.

Saab opened the hand with a raise to 13,000 before the flop and Broom moved all in over the top for a total of 36,000. Saab made the call and a showdown ensued:

Showdown:
Saab: {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

{J-Hearts}

Broom:

{7-Diamonds}

{7-Hearts}

Saab took the lead on the flop which came {J-Clubs}

{J-Clubs}

{3-Spades}

{9-Hearts}

. The

{2-Hearts}

that fell on the turn helped neither player, but the {7-Spades}

{7-Spades}

on the river gave Broom a pot-clinching set and 75,000 in new chips.

"So much of this game is luck," Saab remarked after the hand.
