Matloubi Falls Late on Day 1a

[user67765]

One of our short stacks and 1990 World Champion, Mansour Matloubi has just been eliminated in one of the final hands of the day.

Matloubi held {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

{K-Clubs}

against the {2-Diamonds}

{2-Diamonds}

{2-Spades}

of Dan Schreiber and looked set to double up when the flop landed {K-Diamonds}

{K-Diamonds}

{5-Clubs}

{k-Hearts}

to give him trip kings. The {7-Clubs}

{7-Clubs}

the turn meant nothing but the {2-Clubs}

{2-Clubs}

on the river leave Matloubi to head to an early dinner - we're guessing that duck won't be on the menu.
