Church Doubles Through Khouiss

[user75032]

A tough start for Sam Khouiss

Lots of chips are changing hands here in the early going. Andy Church found a much-needed double-up courtesy of Sam Khouiss. Church was a 2-to-1 underdog preflop (when all the chips went in), tabling {A-Clubs}

{A-Clubs}

{Q-Clubs}

to Khouiss' pocket queens. The dreaded ace came on a flop of {A-Hearts}

{A-Hearts}

{3-Clubs}

{6-Spades}

. That left Khouiss looking for the case queen. He didn't get it.

Church is up to 74,000 in chips. Khouiss has fewer chips than that -- only about 62,000.
