Khouiss Stung by the Honeyman
We noticed Sam Khouiss making a hasty exit from the tournament floor, and a quick checked at Table 45 confirmed that he had just been eliminated.
According to Dylan Honeyman, who happened to do the deed, he raised from the cutoff and the player on the button called. Khouiss, who finished runner-up to Rory Young back in October's 2014 World Series of Poker APAC $1,650 8-Game Dealer's Choice event, came along from the small blind and three players watched the flop fall rainbow. Three checks put a on the turn, and that's when things got interesting.
Khouiss checked, Honeyman bet 1,250, and the player on the button called. Khouiss then woke up with a check-raise to 5,000, Honeyman three-bet to 11,000, and the button got out of the way. Khouiss proceeded to four-bet all in for roughly 20,000 total and Honeyman mad a quick call.
Khouiss tabled for a turned straight, but it was no good as the same card gave Honeyman Broadway. The river failed to deliver Khouiss a chop, and his 2015 Aussie Millions Main Event came to an abrupt end in Level 2.
