Samaha Scores Elimination with Jack High

Level 5 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante
Bernard Samaha
Bernard Samaha

Action began with the cutoff opening to 1,100 and both the button and the small blind made the call. Bernard Samaha, in the big blind, three-bet to 4,700. Both the cutoff and the button made the call.

The flop came {k-Hearts}{8-Spades}{6-Hearts} and Samaha quickly continued for 7,200. While the cutoff folded, the button went all in for a total of 11,300. Samaha said that he was committed to the pot and called.

Button: {7-Hearts}{4-Hearts}
Bernard Samaha: {j-Clubs}{10-Clubs}

Samaha was delighted to see that his jack-high bluff was actually ahead against the button's seven-high flush draw.

The {3-Spades} came on the turn and Samaha called for another three to arrive on the river.

The {2-Spades} completed the board and Samaha said "Good enough!" as he scooped the pot and scored the elimination.
