Not a great start for El Amir Ziad Chehab from Lebanon who has been reduced to just 1,600 chips from a starting stack of 30,000 inside half an hour.

We didn’t catch the action but the final board read and his opponent in the 8 seat had his cards in front of him for the flopped straight.

Chehab’s cards were in the muck and he will need a run of luck if his tournament is not to finish disappointingly early.
