Double Knockout for Chick

Khal Fayad was spotted on his way out of the tournament area and he had last been spotted with a healthy stack of around 100,000.

A quick look at his former table saw Murray Chick drag in a lot of yellow T-5,000 chips and Bassam Habib explained what had happened. According to Habib, Chick had raised to 6,000 and a short stack jammed for 28,000. Fayad called the jam and tank-called the reshove of Chick after a long tank.

The short stack had nines, Fayad pocket eights and Chick remained supreme with pocket kings on a queen-high board.
