Rockets Launch Khan Out in 42nd

[user4144]

It's one thing when your aces get busted, but when it happens twice in a row, then you'd be well within your rights to find the nearest wall and bang your head repeatedly. Although I didn't spot any head-banging, there was certainly some words of disbelief as Hafiz Khan went crashing out.

With {A-Diamonds}

{A-Diamonds}

{A-Clubs}

versus

{7-Clubs}

{5-Clubs}

, Khan was looking good to take out an opponent... that was until the board came {7-Spades}

{7-Spades}

{8-Diamonds}

{7-Hearts}

{7-Diamonds}

{Q-Diamonds}

.

Down to 40,000, Hafiz found the bullets for a second time, and again he was in splendid shape as he took on Raoul Refos' {K-Clubs}

{K-Clubs}

{Q-Spades}

. But of course, the Poker Gods work in mysterious ways, and a {10-Diamonds}

{10-Diamonds}

{K-Hearts}

{J-Diamonds}

{K-Diamonds}

{2-Spades}

board later he was gone.

"It's a skill game," as Rolf Slotboom would sarcastically say.
