Snell On The Rail

Level 13 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

Day 1a chip leader Jo Snell started Day 2 in the top 10 with more than 100 big blinds, however, he is no longer in contention. Hussein Chamas and Chris Kittos hold a vast majority of his chips with Kittos emerging as one of the new big stacks in the room.

Jason Pritchard also took a hit to his stack when he got into a raising war with Corey Kempson. Pritchard had raised to 60,000 already and folded when Kempson jammed for 223,000.

Sam Khoueis
Sam Khoueis

On a flop of {8-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{4-Spades}, a bet of 30,000 was in front of Yisi Zhang and Sam Khoueis then moved all in for 69,000 in total. Zhang had check-raised and was sent deep into the think tank. Zhang eventually called and the cards were turned over.

Sam Khoueis: {k-Clubs}{k-Spades}
Yisi Zhang: {5-Clubs}{5-Spades}

As soon as the {7-Clubs} hit on the turn, Khoueis grabbed his hands in disgust and threw them towards the dealer, who proceeded to deliver the {10-Clubs} on the river. Khoueis had jumped out of his seat by then and stormed out of the tournament area.
