Feeling Down

(Omaha)

With the board reading {8-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}, Men Nguyen bet 3,500, only for John Kabbaj to make it 13,500 one seat along. Another player across the table thought for ages before conceding his hand, and with Nguyen rapidly folding, Kabbaj took the pot. "I had middle set with a seven," confessed the other player.

Whilst Kabbaj jumps up to 30,000, Nguyen is still flying high with 40,000, although you wouldn't know to look at him, as he's resisting any contact with the other players via his iPod, and wearing a menacing frown that suggests life isn't as rosy as it could be. Must be listening to The Smiths.
