Notice that the final kaf doesn't have a dagesh, hence it's "soft" rather than 
"hard."  That 
means the syllable preceding it is open, not closed, and the sheva under the 
second bet is 
vocal, it's not a silent one closing the syllable.  This will always be the 
case before that 
particular pronominal suffix, if memory serves me.
