A'Mazin Run for Khoury

[user153906]

Mazin Khoury joined a tough table that includes Jude Ainsworth, Blair Hinkle and Travell Thomas after the break. But Khoury has been thriving since he took his new seat.

In a recent hand, Khoury opened with a raise to 4,000 from early position and Ainsworth three-bet to 10,300 from the button. The small blind then went into the tank before opting to move all in for around 30,000. Action folded back to Khoury, who asked for a count on Ainsworth's stack.

"About 75 behind."

That was enough information for Khoury to toss out a pile of T5,000 chips, effectively putting Ainsworth all in. He elected to fold, and the two hands were revealed:

Khoury: {A-Clubs} {K-Hearts}
Small Blind: {K-Diamonds} {J-Diamonds}

The {K-Clubs} {Q-Hearts} {7-Hearts} {10-Diamonds} {4-Hearts} gave Khoury a bit of a sweat but he faded danger to scoop a nice pot. He's sitting behind around 280,000, putting him near the top of the leaderboard.
