Joseph El Khoury Eliminated in 16th Place ($17,300)

Joseph El Khoury - 16th Place
Joseph El Khoury - 16th Place
Ouch. Joseph El Khoury's going to be thinking about his elimination from this tournament for a long time. Sitting in the big blind, he called Layne Flack's preflop raise of 30,000. El Khoury then checked to Flack on a board of {2-Spades} {4-Hearts} {4-Clubs}, prompting Flack to bet 52,000.

Taking his time counting out chips, El Khoury check-raised to about 140,000. We say about because, before the raise could be counted, Flack announced all in and El Khoury snap-called.

El Khoury: {2-Diamonds} {2-Clubs}
Flack: {9-Diamonds} {9-Clubs}

El Khoury flopped deuces full of fours, but Layne Flack has been running great when he needed it for most of this tournament. The {9-Hearts} promptly hit the turn, drawing collective gasps from everyone at the table.

"What just happened?" asked the massage therapst working on Flack's shoulders.

"The most interesting turn card in the world," replied the Most Interesting Man in the World. The river was not the case deuce. It was the {A-Clubs}, sending a stunned El Khoury to the rail.

"I can't believe it," he said.

"It's just like Aruba all over again," mused Flack.
