Boukai Busts Loube

Daniel J O'Hair

Niveau 21 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Steven Loube raised to 80,000 in the cutoff and found one caller in Rami Boukai in the big blind.

Boukai bet enough to put Loube all in for his remaining stack on the 3♦10♣9♠ flop and Loube called off the rest of his chips.

Steven Loube: A♦A♠J♠4♠
Rami Boukai: 9♥6♣4♣2♥

Loube was ahead with his aces, but the 9♦ turn left Loube drawing slim against Boukai's trip nines.

The 5♣ river failed to improve Loube and he was eliminated late in the evening.

At another table, Day 1 chip leader Nick Guagenti was also eliminated.
