Flop was a rather cruel A-9-T

Turn = 8

Very next hand, Kuusik bets again, this time under the gun.

Vicki moves in next door, but Kuusik folds, saying "Thank you very much" in the process.

Seat 2: Emad Tahtouh. 25 from Melbourne, Australia

In 2005, Emad qualified for the WSOP and talked his best friend Joe Hachem into coming with him. Some three weeks later, Joe was World Champion and $7.5 million richer. But Emad’s recent performances show he is no mere poker sidekick. He won $70,000 at this year’s WSOP after coming 7th in the $5,000 Pot Limit event and in the last two weeks has come second in two events at the Victorian Poker Championships in Melbourne - with combined winnings of over $40,000.

Emad has been playing poker for years but went pro some four years ago, playing mainly in small live tournaments at his local Crown Casino in Melbourne. He is now a regular in the high limit cash games on PokerStars.
