Khoury KO'd

We pick up the action on a flop of {6-Diamonds} {9-Hearts} {2-Diamonds} with about 14,000 chips in the pot. Action was on Sejaan Saadeh, and he led out with a bet of 10,000. Next door, Maged Khoury moved all in for a total of 41,400, sending Saadeh deep into the tank. A few quick words were exchanged in Arabic, and in the end, the covering player announced a call and slapped his {3-Hearts} {3-Clubs} onto the table. He would soon find out what a good call it was as Khoury showed up {K-Clubs} {Q-Clubs}.

"Hold!" yelled Saadeh. The turn brought a bit of help to Khoury as the {10-Spades} gave him a gutterball straight draw to add four more outs to the win. "Valet!" he screamed, pleading for a jack. He would brick off though as the river brought a useless {10-Hearts} and the end of Khoury's day.
