Shish Kabbaj'ed

John Kabbaj became the first elimination of the day after tangling with chip leader Erik Cajelais moments ago.

(Omaha)

On a board showing {J-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{2-Hearts}, Cajelais opened with a 9,000 bet. Kabbaj then raised to 36,000, Cajelais moved all in and Kabbaj made the call:

Kabbaj: {Q-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{6-Hearts}
Cajelais: {A-Spades}{J-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{9-Spades}

The turn and river then filled out {Q-Spades}, {K-Spades} giving both players straights, but Cajelais' just so happened to be the nuts.

Cajelais stacked up just under 150,000 in chips after the hand.
