Sam Khouiss eliminated

We're down to seven players after Sam Khouiss, Graeme Putt, and Ian Cooper were all recently eliminated.

Constantine Harach is also now on the short stack after doubling up Joe Meissner. With the {A-Clubs}

{A-Spades}

{J-Diamonds}

but Meissner had him crushed with his {A-Hearts}

. The board ran out {A-Clubs}

{8-Spades}

{J-Clubs}

{9-Hearts}

to leave Harach with only a few hundred chips.
