Khouiss KO'd

[user80015]

Level 7

Seven Card Stud Hi/Lo

Sam Khouiss brought-in for 300 before Ash Gupta completed to 800. Khouiss found himself all in for his last 2,500 with Gupta making the call.

Both players boards ran out as follows.

Khouiss: {8-Clubs} {4-Diamonds} / {7-Hearts} {K-Diamonds} {J-Clubs} {5-Spades} / (X)
Gupta: {4-Hearts} {3-Hearts} / {10-Hearts} {7-Diamonds} {3-Clubs} {A-Hearts} / (X)

With Khouiss trailing and needing a six (to potentially scoop), three, deuce or ace to collect half, or any pair to take the lead, he would have his outs reduced when Gupta revealed the {A-Spades} on seventh.

Now drawing to only a low or a six to scoop, Khouiss would collect the {5-Diamonds} on seventh and be forced to the rail.

"Do you want to play for me?" asked Matthew Pearson to a PokerNews Managing Editor Elaine Chaivarlis as she waltzed pass his table.

"I don't know how to play!" responded Chaivarlis.

"Neither do I!" quipped Pearson as he looked down on his 2,300-chip stack.

Level 7

Seven Card Stud

Catching the action on fifth street, Luke McLean led out for 1,600 only to have Casey Kastle two-bet to 3,200. Ash Gupta folded as McLean made the call before leading on sixth and seventh.

McLean: (X)(X) / {10-Hearts} {Q-Spades} {4-Hearts} {Q-Clubs} / (X)
Kastle: (X)(X) / {9-Clubs} {3-Diamonds} {7-Hearts} {4-Spades} / (X)
Gupta: (X)(X) / {10-Spades} {J-Hearts} {4-Diamonds} (folded on fifth)

Kastle called on sixth but folded on seventh while also revealing his seventh street card of the {2-Hearts} as he slipped to 15,000.

McLean happily collected the pot while moving to 22,500 in chips.
