Youssef Flips Out

Youssef: 50-50 on that hand
Youssef: 50-50 on that hand
The money was all in the middle between an unknown opponent holding {4-Hearts}{4-Hearts} against Sammy Youssef who held {A-Diamonds}{Q-Spades} and it was off to the races.

However the board ran out {9-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{6-Hearts} to see the opponent double through and Youssef slip to 50,000.

"That's the first race I've lost in five years," said Youssef. We're not sure if we believe him.
