Saab Outraced by Broom

David Saab just lost a race to James Broom that knocked him down to 194,000 in chips.

Saab opened the hand with a raise to 13,000 before the flop and Broom moved all in over the top for a total of 36,000. Saab made the call and a showdown ensued:

Showdown:
Saab: {A-Spades} {J-Hearts}
Broom: {7-Diamonds} {7-Hearts}

Saab took the lead on the flop which came {J-Clubs} {3-Spades} {9-Hearts}. The {2-Hearts} that fell on the turn helped neither player, but the {7-Spades} on the river gave Broom a pot-clinching set and 75,000 in new chips.

"So much of this game is luck," Saab remarked after the hand.
