Joseph El Khoury Eliminated in 5th Place ($65,770)
It has taken quite some time but we have finally lost another player; that dubious honor going to Joseph El Khoury.
The action folded to El Khoury in the cutoff and he moved all-in for a total of 1,225,000. Victor Paraschiv folded on the button but Marvin Rettenmaier instantly called and the cards were revealed.
El Khoury: 
Rettenmaier: 
Rettenmaier held the advantage and it stayed that way on a 
flop. The 
turn gave El Khoury some outs to a straight but the 
was not one of them and we are now down to four players in the main event.
