The name Mazin Khoury hasn't been featured in these updates much yet, but that's going to change. Khoury, a well known (online) player, just made a nice call in moderate pot. It's impossible to write anything about table dynamics and history, and on top of that we only wrote down the river action. It's still impressive though. The board read 
| | and Khoury had checked to his opponent. That gentleman bet 14,000 with just 19,000 behind. Khoury thought for not to long before calling. "Ace high" his opponent said, showing 
in the process. Khoury tabled 
and took down the pot.
