Khouiss Out, Vos Claims Bounty!

Sam Khouiss couldn't get much going during the rebuy period, and recently lost the last of his chips on a board of {6-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{8-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}.

Mark Vos held {7-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{A-Hearts}{K-Diamonds} for the nut flush as Khouiss mucked his hand. Khouiss exited the tournament floor just before the drink vouchers were awarded to the table as a reward for the most rebuys, and Vos quickly claimed Khouiss' voucher as a bounty for eliminating him from the tournament!

Play Resumes

The players are back and we hope that this tournament will now settle down and resemble some sort of normality.

The tournament staff has informed us that table 50 has the honour of the most rebuys thanks to Mark Vos, Sam Khouiss, Sam Youssef and Harris Pavlou! The amount? $8,600, which amounts to a staggering 86 rebuys.

Break

The rebuy period is now over. The players are now counting up their rebuys and purchasing add-ons before taking a ten-minute break.

Table Talk

Julian Powell

"We need to come 2nd or 3rd to break even!"

-- Julian Powell to Van Marcus.

Powell has $1,300 invested in the tournament at the moment. Marcus is in a whopping $2,500!

Van Finally Triples

Van Marcus
Van Marcus
Van Marcus has been re-potting like crazy but he finally found a triple up when he made a straight holding {7-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{10-Spades} on a board of {4-Hearts}{5-Spades}{A-Clubs}{6-Spades}{K-Spades}.

For the record Marcus has reportedly bought in for $2,300 so far today, with Julian Powell spending $1,300 and Bruno Portaro in for $900. We also asked Sam Khouiss how many rebuys he'd purchased and he's blunt reply was "about a hundred!"
