Khabbazeh Picks Off Abakirov
Level 21
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Kubanychbek Abakirov three-bet to 175,000 in the cutoff and Basel Khabbazeh called from under the gun.
The flop came 
and Khabbazeh checked to Abakirov, who continued for 130,000. Khabbazeh called before both players checked the 
turn.
Khabbazeh also checked the 
river and Abakirov fired out 425,000 this time. Khabbazeh tanked for about a minute before he called as Abakirov flung 
into the middle.
Khabbazeh showed 
to win the pot.
"Nice call," tablemate Florian Duta told him following the hand.
"Table change. Everyone play too good," Daniel Montagnolli added.
