The Voice is Silenced

Nível 5 : 200/400, 50 ante

We noticed that Paul "The Voice" Khoury wasn't in his seat, and a quick check with the table confirmed that he'd been eliminated.

According to Jake Balsiger, the under-the-gun player opened with a raise only to have Khoury three-bet with . Balsiger then four-bet from the small blind with , the original raiser folded, and Khoury made the call. After the flop came down , Balsiger continued for 4,000 and then called when Khoury shoved his last 14,000 or so. Khoury failed to catch a queen, and just like that "The Voice" was silenced.

Guerin Can't Nguyen with a Flush Draw

Nível 5 : 200/400, 50 ante

We stumbled upon a big pot brewing; in fact, there was about 35,000 already in the pot and a board reading . Didier Guerin was in the small blind and committed his remaining stack of approximately 15,000.

Edison Nguyen, who was on the button, insta-called and Guerin was left shaking his head.

Guerin:
Nguyen:

Nguyen had flopped top two pair, which meant Guerin needed to hit his flush draw to survive. That proved easier said than done though as the useless blanked. Guerin rapped the table and then quickly exited the 2014 Aussie Millions.
