Youssef Eliminated

David Saab's table was broken about 15 minutes ago. The native son landed at Sam Youssef's table. It was a good move for Saab. After a player in middle position opened for 1,000 and Youssef reraised from small blind to 3,000, Saab elected to call out of the big blind. The original raiser called as well.

Each player checked a flop that came down {2-Diamonds} {10-Hearts} {K-Clubs}. With all the preflop money, it felt like someone was being a bit "dishonest." The {3-Hearts} on the turn shook things out. Youssef and Saab both checked to the third player, who fired out for 5,000. Youssef called, then watched as Saab check-raised to 17,000. That was enough to put Youssef all in; he called after the other player folded.

Saab: {K-Hearts} {K-Diamonds}
Youssef: {A-Hearts} {A-Diamonds}

Saab's showed the nuts, a set of kings. He had to dodge only two cards in the deck, the other two aces, and did so successfully when the river bricked out a {6-?}. He's up to 57,000 chips now, while Youssef is on the rail. The third player from the hand, who remains in the tournament, said he folded pocket queens.
