John Kabbaj Eliminated in 8th Place ($28,006)

John Kabbaj - 8th Place
John Kabbaj - 8th Place
Omaha

John Kabbaj limped from UTG, Rami Boukai called, then Cornel Cimpan raised to 66,000 from the button. Kabbaj called, and Boukai folded.

The flop came {5-Spades}{8-Spades}{3-Hearts}, Kabbaj bet the pot, Cimpan raised, and Kabbaj called with his remaining chips. Kabbaj showed {A-Clubs}{J-Clubs}{7-Spades}{4-Spades}, and Cimpan {A-Spades}{A-Hearts}{K-Hearts}{Q-Spades}.

The {9-Spades} on the turn meant Kabbaj was drawing dead to a single out for a straight flush. The river was the {J-Diamonds}, and Kabbaj is out, earning a little over $28,000 for his 8th place finish.

Meanwhile, Cimpan bounces back up close to the 700,000-chip mark and the chip lead.
