Khoueis Eliminated by Yazbeck

Level 3 : 200/400, 400 ante

On the feature table, Sam Khoueis was losing chips at a steady pace and was down to his last 6,000.

Joe Snell raised to 1,000 from under the gun, Patrick Yazbeck in the early position and Terence A Clee on the button both called. Khoueis shoved his last chips in from the small blind and was called by Snell, Yazbeck, and Clee.

The flop came {2-Clubs}{9-Spades}{9-Diamonds}, Snell check-called the 3,600 bet of Yazbeck while Clee folded.

They both checked through the {7-Clubs} on the turn to the {8-Hearts} on the river. Snell checked again but quickly folded when Yazbeck fired a bet of 15,000 over the line. Yazbeck tabled {8-Spades}{8-Clubs} for the rivered full house and that was enough for Khoueis to angrily flick his cards into the muck before making his way out of the tournament area.

At 5 p.m. local time, the stream will start with a 30-minute security delay as the hole cards will be shown. The runitup Twitch channel will be providing commentary with Jamie Kerstetter and Ashley Sleeth.
