Eddy Raffoul had done amazing things with his stack following his crippling with ace-eight. Down to just 7,000 after that hand, Raffoul doubled and doubled again to work his stack back well over 100,000. In his final hand, Kamal Bejjani opened the pot with a raise, and Raffoul moved all in from the button. Bejjani quickly called, turning over {K-Spades} {K-Clubs}. Raffoul could only shake his head and show {J-Hearts} {J-Spades}.

He would find no salvation from the dealer as the board ran down {9-Spades} {2-Diamonds} {5-Hearts} {7-Diamonds} {8-Diamonds}. Bejjani's overpair holds, earning him the knockout and sending Raffoul off to the payout desk in 20th place.
