Sam El Sayed Eliminates Vamplew and Lannermark
Sam El Sayed, renowned for his extremely loose style of play, has just eliminated Mattias Lannermark and EPT London Champion, David Vamplew from the tournament in one hand.
El Sayed opened the betting with a raise to 2,200 in middle position. The player next to act folded, then Vamplew moved all in for what turned out to be 22,300. The action folded to Lannermark in the small blind and he moved all in too for 23,700 chips. This put the focus back on El Sayed and he set about figuring out what he needed to do.
"I was folding but not now," Sayed informed the table, before muttering under his breathe something about the average chip stack and that it was now time to gamble. After close to two minutes of chatter he made the call.
El Sayed:
Lannermark:
Vamplew:
By the turn the board read and it looked like a double up was on the cards but El Sayed pleaded with the poker gods "jack one time please" and low and behold his prayers were answered as the showed up on the river.
With that both Vamplew and Lannermark have been eliminated and El Sayed finds himself armed with more than 100,000 chips.
