Youssef Eliminated

Sam Youssef is out of escape pods. He was crippled once again in a flip against Mel Judah. Youssef was slightly ahead preflop with pocket tens, but Judah's ace-jack caught an ace on the flop. That hand moved Judah to 28,000 and Youssef down to 1,800.

A few hands later, Youssef was all in preflop and found two callers. The board came {A-Diamonds} {5-Clubs} {2-Clubs}. One of the callers bet the flop, folding the other. With no further action remaining, each player opened his hand.

Youssef: {10-Clubs} {8-Clubs}
Opponent: {A-Clubs} {9-Clubs}

"Let's see how you win this one," Emad Tahtouh wryly remarked. Indeed, Youssef was out of magic when the turn and river came running queens. He has been eliminated.

Youssef's seat didn't remain empty for long. A table was broken just a few minutes later, and none other than David Saab moved into Youssef's old seat. "For the love of God!" cried Tahtouh. "Send me home right now! I heard you from across the room. I knew that Saab was here somewhere."
