Lost Opportunity For El Khoury

Level 27: 25,000-50,000, 5,000 ante

Victor Paraschiv raises from first position, Artur Voskanyan calls on the button as does Joseph El Khoury in the big blind. The flop contains more clubs than Greg Normans bathrobe - Jclub 9club 8club - and it is Paraschiv who bets first, making it 140,000, and only El Khoury makes the call. That's the end of the action as the Jheart and 8diamond are checked through, and what a wasted opportunity for El Khoury. He turns over Aclub Tclub for the flopped nuts and he has won the absolute minimum.

El Khoury ~ 1,430,000
Paraschiv ~ 870,000
