Sammy Youssef Crippled Then Crunched

Youssef: busto
Youssef: busto
Dean 'dinjho' Nyberg moved all in pre-flop from the button holding {A-Spades}{8-Spades}, but was called by Sammy Youssef holding {3-Hearts}{3-Hearts}.

Off to the races we went - but the fop of {8-Hearts}{7-Spades}{5-Hearts} put Nyberg into the lead. Drawing thin to runners, the board would brick out {2-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts} to leave Youssef with less than 3,000 in chips.

He would ship that short stack into the middle a few hands later, only to find Jai Kemp re-raising all in over the top for around 5,500. Everyone else got out of the way and the cards were tabled:

Kemp: {A-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}
Youssef: {K-Clubs}{9-Hearts}

The board ran out {8-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}; Youssef's day is done.
