Tahtouh-ing the Flop

Emad Tahtouh
Emad Tahtouh
We pick up this pot on the flop, heads up between Emad Tahtouh and Carl Gray. The flop reads {Q-Clubs} {J-Clubs} {10-Clubs}, and Gray leads out for a bet of 1,500. Emad Tahtouh raises it up to 3,500, and Gray moves all in for 12,000. Tahtouh snap-calls before Gray can even get his chips into the middle.

Showdown:
Gray: {K-Spades} {9-Spades}
Tahtouh: {K-Clubs} {3-Clubs}

In what proved to be a huge action flop, there is little drama left as Gray is left drawing completely dead. The turn and river are meaningless -- {3-Spades} and {6-Clubs} -- and Tahtouh knocks out Gray, chipping his way up to a healthy 70,000.
