Aussie Sam Khouiss is up to 80,000 now after eliminating an unknown opponent from the tournament.

A player in the cutoff position opened with a raise to 1,800 and Adam Junglen made the call from the button. The action then fell on Khouiss in the small blind who kicked it up to 8,000. The big blind flat called, as did the cutoff; Junglen released his hand.

The flop came {5-Spades}

{5-Spades}

{10-Hearts}

{J-Clubs}

and Khouiss fired a bet large enough to put his opponent all-in. A call was made and a showdown ensued:

Khouiss: {A-Diamonds}

{A-Diamonds}

{Q-Hearts}

{K-Clubs}

{K-Spades}

Opponent:

{10-Diamonds}

{6-Clubs}

{Q-Diamonds}

{8-Clubs}

The turn card was the {8-Spades}

{8-Spades}

giving Khouiss' opponent the lead in the hand with two pair, but the {5-Hearts}

{5-Hearts}

that fell on the river gave Khouiss aces up for the win.
