"The Voice" Silenced

Paul "The Voice" Khoury - Eliminated
Paul "The Voice" Khoury - Eliminated
After a raise to 6,000, three men made it to a flop that came down {Q-Spades} {3-Spades} {10-Diamonds}. Action was checked over to James Frendo on the button, and he bet 16,000 with position. Paul Khoury was sitting with 42,000, and he made his move, check-raising all in over the top. Frendo was the lone caller, putting Khoury's tournament life in the balance.

Showdown:
Frendo: {A-Hearts} {Q-Hearts}
Khoury: {A-Spades} {5-Spades}

Khoury was behind, looking for a spade or running cards to stay alive. The turn wasn't a spade, but the {5-Clubs} did provide a couple of more outs for the at-risk player. The river blanked off though, as the {2-Clubs} spelled the end for "The Voice." He shipped the rest of his checks over to Frendo, who now sits with 144,000.
