Joseph Abou Khalil was playing very aggressively all night, and for the most part he was the table captain at each table he joined. Although he was caught out a couple of times with the worst hand, his overall aggressiveness served him well and even when he got quite short, he managed to rebuild his stack in relatively short order.
At least that was true through the early levels tonight, past the bubble, and to the final table. Unfortunately for him, though, Michael Korovine just caught him – and Joe no longer has a stack to rebuild.
Joe was in the button and shoved, and was quickly called by Michael Korovine from the small blind. The cards were flipped and Joseph was at risk:
Joseph: 
Michael: 
The board runout brought no help for Joseph:
