Kabbaj Lays Down Ladies

Just as action seemed like it was going nowhere, John Kabbaj raised under the gun to 60,000. Kathy Liebert called out of the small blind. Both players took a flop of {K-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} and Liebert checked. Kabbaj bet 140,000 but wasn't too thrilled to see Liebert raise him to 325,000. The crowd gathered around the table to see if this was going to be the hand to end the night, but after some thought Kabbaj folded Q-Q face-up.

According to Phil Laak, "Kathy is solid, she's not going to donk off to us degenerate, low-life gamblers here. She knows what she's doing." The table laughed for a second, then went right back to business.
