Khoo’s Kings Fall to Set of Nines by Benz


Day 1A chip leader Kenneth Khoo has failed to keep up with the current leaders for Day 2 but still has around 130,000 to work with– still better than his starting stack of 113K for today.

Here’s the hand where his stack suffered a serious hit:

The dealer has already turned 2 3 4 9 with the pot at around 50,000. Sebastian Benz shoved with over 40,000 and Khoo called.

The river A landed failing to give Khoo the flush or king and Benz doubled-up to around 140,000.
