John Kabbaj At a Glance
Nível 27
: 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante
Most people from the United States will likely not recall the name John Kabbaj from somewhere but the Brit boasts more than 2.5 million in live cashes according to his Hendon Mob profile.
In 2004, Kabbaj finished 2nd in a $ 3,000 No-Limit Hold'em and he does have another three final tables at the WSOP with the oldest one dating back to the year 1999. Especially Pot Limit Omaha seems to be his specialty with many scores listing that specific poker type and Kabbaj finished runner-up in a $ 2,500 Pot Limit Omaha/Hold'em. Adding to his diversity, he also cashed in the $ 50,000 World Championship H.O.R.S.E. in 2009 as well.
Two out of his four cashes in Las Vegas five years ago were final table appearances. This does include a golden bracelet in the $ 10,000 World Championship Pot Limit Hold'em for a payday of $ 633,335. Furthermore, he cashed in the £ 10,000 + 350 No Limit Hold'em - World Championship Event of the WSOPE the very same year, too.

flop and 80,000 on the 
turn.

river as well. McHugh showed
