Eljach Slowrolled to the Rail...by Himself

Cesar Garcia raised to 40,000 in early position and Omar Eljach called in the big blind.

The flop came A♠2♦2♣ and Garcia bet 20,000. Eljach called and both players checked the J♠ turn.

The river was the J♦ and Eljach bet 160,000, leaving himself 20,000 behind. Garcia quickly folded.

The next hand, Niall Farrell raised to 40,000 in the hijack before Eljach moved all in for 340,000 in the small blind. Farrell used a time bank before calling.

Omar Eljach: 8♠8♣
Niall Farrell: A♥9♥

"Let it snow, let it snow," Eljach began singing as he turned over a pair of eights. The flop came 3♠7♥5♥ and Farrell picked up the nut flush draw.

"Easy dodge," Eljach said as the 2♣ fell on the turn. The river was the 4♠ and Eljach began celebrating his double up until the table pointed out that Farrell had made a straight.

"Really? No dodge. I slowrolled myself," Eljach said on his way to the rail.
