Haddad Doubles, Then Busts

Level 6 : Blinds 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

Matthew Davenport opened from the button before Ramez Haddad shoved for roughly 8,000 from the small blind. Joseph Sabe then raised to 17,000 from the big blind, forcing Davenport out of the pot and leaving Haddad at risk.

Ramez Haddad: Q?Q?
Joseph Sabe: A?K?

It was a classic tournament flip that Haddad caught the better end of on the J?8?5? flop. He remained ahead on the 4? turn and Q? river to secure a full double up.

Haddad still had under 15 big blinds despite the double up and would bust shortly afterwards, with Bulent Sahin claiming the last of his chips.
