Sam Khoueis Eliminated in 7th Place ($37,859)

Level 18 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Isaac Lau opened on the cutoff to 50,000 and next to act on the button, Dejan Boskovic called. In the small blind, Sam Khoueis moved all in for 177,000 and action was back on Lau. Lau moved all in over the top for about 600,000 putting the action back on Boskovic. Boskovic didn't waste too much time before folding, leaving Khoueis and Lau heads up.

Sam Khoueis: {Q-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}
Isaac Lau: {K-Diamonds}{J-Clubs}

The flop was a disaster for Khoueis when it came down {K-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}, giving Lau the better pair. Khoueis couldn't catch up on the {3-Clubs} turn or the {7-Hearts} river, so with that, he was eliminated, taking home $37,859 for seventh place. Lau took down the pot and moved over 800,000 after the pot.
