Sammy Youssef's Escape Act

Seat ten on the table of Jim Mastorakos, Emad Tahtouh and Dennis Huntly appears to be cursed as it's recently seen the rapid eliminations of Peter Ling and Jim Sachinidis.

Most recently it has been filled by Sam Youssef who appeared set to be the next to join the list of those cut down by the chair's curse. Youssef called a preflop raise from the big blind before moving all in at a flop of {4-Spades}{8-Hearts}{5-Spades} for his last 3,300 chips.

However his opponent laid it down as Youssef flashed {J-Hearts}{9-Hearts} for an airball in a classic "stop and go".

"This is how it starts!" smirked Tahtouh as Youssef recovers some much needed chips.

A few moments later Youssef was all in again, with his {A-?}{J-?} up against an opponent's dominant {A-?}{Q-?}. However the board fell {10-?}{10-?}{A-?}{K-?}{9-?} resulting in a split pot.

"Unbelieveable!" again chirped Tahtouh, "Houdini cannot believe how many time you can escape!

Youssef is hanging in there with 6,800 chips.
