Sam The Champ in full flight

Sam "the Champ" Khouiss, winner of the 2005 $1150 NLHE with rebuys, is in fine form - talking up a storm on table 16!

On a flop of {K-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{5-Clubs}, he check-raises to $1000 after the button bets $500. The button goes into the tank and Sam immediately starts in on his customary verbal barrage.

"Do you have Ace King Brett?"
"If you go all in I have to fold. Just make it $500 more"

To which Brett replies: "Do you have King Queen Sam"

Sam then dares him to call, even betting him $5 he will fold.

After some deliberation, Brett folds claiming his kicker must be no good.

Sam shows him {5-Hearts}{5-Spades}

Sam will need all the chips he can get, as his bag of tricks may not be enough for this table. In Seat 1 sits EPT London Open runner up Emad Tahtouh, in Seat 3 is PokerNetwork.com Young Gun Russell Stevenson. High Stakes cash game player "King Richard" Ashby is in Seat 6, and online pro Jethro Horowitz is in Seat 10.
