Level 17 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Quan Zhou bet 175,000 from the big blind on a flop of Q♥7♠5♠ and Vincent Khoueiry called under the gun.

The turn was the 3♥ and Zhou potted to 730,000, enough to put Khoueiry all in. Khoueiry slammed his chips on the table in frustration and shot up from his seat.

"You have a straight or two pair? I'll give you $100 for one card. $200," Khoueiry offered.

"At least $1,000," tablemate Lautaro Guerra added.

Khoueiry eventually folded, and Zhou showed him the Q♦ as he took the pot.

"Look what you did. Look how super short I am now," Khoueiry said after the hand.

Level 17 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Maksim Shuts took a grip strength tool out of his bag and offered it to Vincent Khoueiry, who politely declined. "You only take chips," Shuts joked. He then asked Khoueiry how long he's been playing poker.

"Last time I played a tournament was 2009," Khoueiry replied.

"Come back to gamble," Shuts added.

Khoueity and Bassel Alanaz then saw a flop of 5♠8♣7♥ when Alanaz bet 150,000 from under the gun. Khoueiry called in the cutoff.

The turn was the 2♣ and Alanaz bet 625,000. Khoueiry quickly folded this time.

Guerra then announced pot, and Zhou snap-folded.
