Khalil Throws In The Tawil

Level 5 : 150/300, 25 ante

Khalil Tawil's tournament is over after he came off much worse than Turker Baloglu over on Table 10.

It was Baloglu who opened the betting with a raise to 700 and he found callers in the shape of Gaelle Baumann on the button and Tawil in the big blind. The trio shared a {6-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{q-Clubs} flop and Tawil checked. Baumann thought Baloglu had also checked and she inadvertently checked out of turn. Baloglu then bet 1,500 and Baumann folded.

Tawil did not fold though, instead he raised all in for around 8,000 and Baloglu quickly called.

Tawil: {k-Spades}{q-Diamonds}
Baloglu: {a-Hearts}{q-Hearts}

Tawil needed some help from the board but it failed to arrive as the turn and river were the {8-Hearts} and {6-Clubs} respectively and we lost another player here in Cyprus.
