Tahtouh Removal

[user38449]

Aussie pro Emad Tahtouh was recently eliminated from the tournament -- the result of a three-way confrontation involving J.P. Kelly and Wally Sombero.

Tahtouh moved all in before the flop from the hijack position holding {Q-?}

and was called by both Kelly (button) and Sombero (small blind).

The flop came {K-?}

and Sombero led out with a bet on the side that was raised by Kelly. Sombero then moved all in forcing Kelly out of the pot.

The cards were then tabled and Emad found his straight draw up against Sombero's top two pair.

The turn and river bricked out, sending Tahtouh home midway through the first day of action here in Macau.

Sombero, meanwhile, stacked up a healthy 45,000 in chips after the hand.
