Ubaid Habib

Jean Gaspard opened to 800 under the gun, and action folded around to Mark Manesh on the button, who put out 1,050 chips.

“Floor!”

Since Manesh’s bet was half a legal raise, he was forced to make a min-raise to 1,300 total.

Ubaid Habib protested the ruling for some time from the big blind, then moved all in for 21,475. “F*** this s***,” he said as he pushed his chips forward. Gaspard called with the covering stack, and Manesh eventually folded to leave Habib heads-up for his tournament life.

Gaspard: QhJd
Habib: ThTd

“Wow,” someone at the table said.

“Wow,” said someone else.

The board ran out 8s7s3c7c8h, and Habib’s tens held to earn him a double-up.

“Action table,” Jacquelyn Scott added.

Ubaid Habib – 44,800 (149 bb)
Jean Gaspard – 6,425 (21 bb)
