El Khoury Doubles Up (Again)

Joseph El Khoury had fired 130,000 on the flop of {8-Spades}{6-Hearts}{7-Hearts} against Victor Paraschiv - but when the former moved all in on the {9-Hearts} turn, Paraschiv was clearly stuck with a difficult decision.

After about three minutes he made the call but he did not like what he saw.

Paraschiv: {K-Clubs}{5-Clubs}
El Khoury: {Q-Clubs}{10-Hearts}

Paraschiv was drawing to three outs for a chop, the {4-Diamonds} not one of them and El Khoury, who has had this habit of doubling up then losing his stack, continues this cycle.
