Yosef Kamil moved his last 16,000 into the middle on the button, with Chadd Beatty calling all in from the big blind.
Chadd Beatty: A♣5♦
Yosef Kamil: 8♥8♦
Kamil found a set on the K♣8♣2♣ flop, but Beatty improved to a flush on the 6♣ turn. The p3s] river changed nothing, seeing Beatty win the pot.
After counting both stacks, Beatty's all in of 15,500 left Kamil with just 500. That was promptly gone on the very next hand, as Kamil was knocked out out for a second time on the day.
