El Khoury Doubles Up

Joseph El Khoury raised to 41,000 from late position before Victor Paraschiv made it 101,000 in the seat next to him. El Khoury made the call with about 300,000 behind.

The flop was {J-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{5-Hearts} and El Khoury checked, Paraschiv bet 75,000 and the short-stack moved all in.

Paraschiv looked pained but after making some calculations, he made the call.

Paraschiv: {J-Spades}{10-Spades}
El Khoury: {K-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}

The {8-Spades} on the turn gave Paraschiv a straight draw but the {8-Clubs} river meant that El Khoury lives again.
