Feldman Puts the Kibosh on Kabbaj

John Kabbaj opened to 1,125 on the button, and Andrew Feldman three-bet with a pot-sized reraise from the big blind. Kabbaj called.

The flop came out {10-} {9-} {7-} with two hearts, and Feldman pushed out a bet of 6,850. Kabbaj called, committing about a third of his remaining stack. That brought them to the turn {3-Hearts}, and Feldman moved all in for Kabbaj's 15,000 effective chips. Kabbaj called it off with {A-} {7-} no hearts, and Feldman was poised for the knockout with {J-Hearts} {J-Clubs}.

The river {8-Spades} further improved Feldman to the straight, eliminating Kabbaj from the field. Feldman is sitting in the former seat of the 2008 champion of this event, Nenad Medic, and now he's knocked off the 2009 champion. "Maybe it's good luck," he said with a shrug.

He is up to 49,000 courtesy of that pot.
