Rockets Launch Khan Out in 42nd

It's one thing when your aces get busted, but when it happens twice in a row, then you'd be well within your rights to find the nearest wall and bang your head repeatedly. Although I didn't spot any head-banging, there was certainly some words of disbelief as Hafiz Khan went crashing out.

With {A-Diamonds}{A-Clubs} versus {7-Clubs}{5-Clubs}, Khan was looking good to take out an opponent... that was until the board came {7-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds}.

Down to 40,000, Hafiz found the bullets for a second time, and again he was in splendid shape as he took on Raoul Refos' {K-Clubs}{Q-Spades}. But of course, the Poker Gods work in mysterious ways, and a {10-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds}{2-Spades} board later he was gone.

"It's a skill game," as Rolf Slotboom would sarcastically say.
