Khoury Eliminates Christofi

Paul Khoury
Paul Khoury
Paul "The Voice" Khoury is currently stacking up plenty of chips after busting the aggressive Chris Christofi.

The pot had swollen after bets preflop and on the flop, as the players went to the turn on a board of {K-Diamonds}{A-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}{2-Hearts}.

Khoury led out for 4,000 and Christofi moved all in for roughly another 14,000 to send Khoury into the tank. "I have a big hand, I have to call!" said Khoury and tabled {J-Diamonds}{J-Spades} for a set, as Christofi cringed and revealed {A-Hearts}{K-Spades}.

The river bricked the {5-Clubs} and Khoury send Christofi to the rail to jump up to over 40,000 chips.
