Kings Everywhere As Tahtouh Implodes

[user67765]

We've just discovered that on the final hands before the break, that Emad Tahtouh has incredibly gone from one of our chip leaders to the rail in a matter of moments.

We found his seat empty following the break and his table recalled to us the gory details. It was a limped pot to Tahtouh's big blind and he raised it up to 10,000. Play folded back to Jason Brown in the small blind who then re-raised to 25,000. Tahtouh shoved and Brown quickly called and tabled pocket kings to have Tahtouh's pocket sixes in deep, deep trouble. Another king on the flop was more than enough to send the 250,000-chip pot to Auckland local Brown.

Next hand Tahtouh committed the remainder of his chips on a king-high flop holding {K-?}
