Rollercoaster for Tahtouh

Emad Tahtouh has become the latest player to have their aces cracked today. He raised UTG with {A-Hearts} {A-Diamonds} , and it folded around to the small blind who raised all in for 17,000. Call.

Under the gun: {Q-Spades} {Q-Hearts}

Board: {8-Hearts} {8-Spades} {K-Clubs} {4-Hearts} {Q-Clubs}

Tahtouh dropped right down to 3,400.

He made a bit of a comeback, tripling up to around 12,000 with {A-Hearts} {9-Hearts} on a {7-Clubs} {9-Spades} {8-Diamonds} {4-Spades} {A-Spades} board, but then got it all in with {J-Hearts} {J-Diamonds} against {A-Diamonds} {7-Diamonds} -- the board came down {Q-Spades} {A-Spades} {7-Spades} {9-Spades} {3-Clubs}, and he was no more.
