Khalil Hits The Cash Tables

After making a flying visit down from Sydney to Melbourne just for the weekend, Australian poker cult hero Ali Khalil has unfortunately been eliminated from today's event.

Khalil recalled to us that he was crippled in a big pot with {K-?}{j-?} against {A-?}{K-?} on a board of {A-?}{K-?}{4-?}{K-?}{4-?}. He followed that up by taking his short stack into battle with pocket queens but his opponent made a flush with {9-Clubs}{10-Clubs}.

Khalil then recalled to us that following his elimination he sat straight into a $10/$20 Omaha cash game and found double-suited aces first hand. "Pot," announced Khalil, much to the confusion of the rest of the table who explained to Khalil that he had sat into a Limit game. One hand and $300 lost, and Khalil is now on the Hold'em waiting list!
