Setback for Kabbaj

John Kabbaj has seen his stack dissected in half. He raised it up to 8,500 from the button, only for neighbour Amir Englund to push all in from the small blind with {7-Clubs}{7-Hearts}. Kabbaj made a quick call with {A-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds}.

The flop was a teaser, the {2-Hearts} in the window followed by an {A-Hearts} and then a... {7-Spades}, the latter of which leading Kabbaj to wave his hand before him in frustration having spotted the bullet first. A {3-Clubs} turn and {6-Spades} were of no use, meaning Kabbaj drops to 35,000.
