Kamel Crippled At The Break
Level 19
: 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante
Tamer Kamel is the tournament's short stack after losing a massive pot to Ryan Austin as the players headed out of the Amazon Room for a scheduled break.
Joining the action on a 
flop, Austin led for 16,500 in late position and was facing a raise to 38,500 from Kamel on the button. Austin called and the dealer placed the 
onto the turn. Austin initially checked, but when Kamel made it 70,000 Austin check-raised all in. Kamel called and the cards were revealed.
"Do you have jacks?" asked Austin. Kamel didn't have jacks, he held 
. Austin showed the dominating 
and Kamel looked extremely disappointed.
The 
was the river card, completing the board and crippling Kamel.
