Khalil Gone

Preflop, an opponent made an opening raise, and Ali Khalil three-bet all in. The opponent went into the tank and made the call with {3-?}{3-?} but would be in trouble against the {5-?}{5-?} of Khalil.

Another player exclaimed that he had folded a {3-?} which would leave the opponent drawing very thin.

The {q-?}{j-?}{4-?} flop did not help opponent. Nor did the {10-?} turn. It was the river {3-?} that spiked, that saved the opponent's tournament life, and left Khalil with only 10,000 chips.

Unfortunately for Khalil he wouldn't recover, going out of the tournament soon after.
