Doubling Kabbaj

Omaha

John Kabbaj opened with a pot raise to 18,000. Action passed back to Najib Bennani in the big blind, and he called to see a flop.

It showed up {6-Diamonds} {7-Spades} {2-Spades}. Bennani quickly announced, "Pot," sliding a big tower of chips forward. Just as quickly, Kabbaj made the call, putting himself all in for 35,000 in the process.

Showdown
Kabbaj: {Q-Diamonds} {Q-Clubs} {9-Clubs} {3-Diamonds}
Bennani: {A-Spades} {K-Clubs} {8-Diamonds} {7-Clubs}

Kabbaj was leading but at risk for his tournament life. The turn and river would come safe though, as the {9-Diamonds} and {9-Spades} filled out the board. Kabbaj's trip nines are the winner, and he has earned himself an early double up.
