During that tournament, he was involved in a notable hand: Mark Wahba moved all-in and Shamroukh reshoved with A-K. Wahba also had A-K. The flop came all clubs, giving Shamroukh a flush draw, but no club came, and they chopped. Wahba was frustrated, saying "Every time I go in with this I run into the same hand."
