Eddy Tries to Keep Steady
Eddy Sabat was just now playing a hand at his rather cacophonous table.
Layne Flack and Shawn Sheikhan on either side of him provide plenty of chatter. But a player across the table had out his iPad as well and was playing somewhat loudly a funky rhythmic groove for all to enjoy-slash-endure. The Tournament Director had to come over to ask the player to turn the music down, much to the chagrin of Flack and Sheikhan.
Meanwhile, Sabat found himself involved in a battle over a sizable pot with an opponent. He'd called a turn bet from his foe with the board showing 
. The river then came the 
, and Sabat's opponent fired another bet of 5,125, leaving himself not so much behind.
Sabat thought about it then called, and his opponent showed 
for the rivered pair of queens. Sabat mucked. "Gross," he exhaled.
"Nothin' like putting your tournament on the line with the old queen-high!" chirped Flack, enjoying the scene. Sabat now has 45,000.
