Elan Chabi
Elan Chabi raised to 1,500 from late position and two players called. They went three handed to the 
flop and the small blind led out with a bet of 1,000. Chabi raised to 3,000 and the player on the button quickly folded.
The small blind called and they went heads up to the 
turn card. The small blind check-called a bet of 3,000 from Chabi and both players checked the 
river card.
“Kings” announced Chabi turning over his 
and his opponent fired his hand face down into the muck. “That’s how you play kings you check back the river because you’re scared” joked Chabi as he dragged in the pot.
Elan Chabi- 80,000
