The John Kabbaj Show: Stammen and Kenney Out in 23rd and 22nd ($24,066)

Under the gun, Keven Stammen opened with a raise. John Kabbaj re-raised to 150,000. Bryn Kenney then moved all in for 278,000 from the big blind. Stammen called all in for his last ~100,000, and Kabbaj called as well to put both opponents at risk!

Showdown
Stammen: {J-Hearts}

Kabbaj:

Kenney:

The flop ran out ragged to keep Stammen in the lead: {5-Spades}

. The turn was not so kind though; the {A-Hearts}

struck the board, all but locking up the pot for Kabbaj. Indeed, the blank {9-Clubs}

on the end sealed the fate of both all-in players.

The chip leader just minutes ago, Kenney will take 22nd place by virtue of having more chips than Stammen at the start of the hand. It's irrelevant apart from bragging rights though as both men will pocket $24,066 as their consolation prize.

Kabbaj is running over this field now. He has 1,650,000, a full 20% of the chips in play!
