Hammoud Takes Another Hit
Level 22
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Rami Hammoud opened to 60,000 from the hijack and Steven Tripp three-bet shoved for 730,000 from the button. Hammoud called to put Tripp at risk.
Steven Tripp: 7♠7♥ 
Rami Hammoud: 5♣5♥
Hammoud was in rough shape with a smaller pocket pair and couldn't catch a five on the 2♣3♦8♦8♠4♣ runout. Tripp secured a full double up while the Hammoud, who had started the final table with the chip lead, continued to slide down the counts.
