Achour Busts; Immediately Reenters

Level 2 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

With Maher Achour all-in preflop for his last 11,000 from the big blind, the dealer spread out a flop of 4J9. Mikhail Katykhin put out a bet from under the gun, and Haydar Issa folded from middle position.

Maher Achour: KQ All in
Mikhail Katykhin: AQ

Achour was already out of his chair after seeing he needed to find a king or ten to survive. The rest of the board came 2A, meaning Katykhin won the pot.

Achour immediately bolted to the cashier's desk to reenter and is now sitting with a fresh starting stack of 100,000.
