Amsellem Among Early Bustouts
Level 18
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Paul Amsellem got his stack of around 100,000 in the middle from the button and was up against Fady Kamar in the cutoff.
Paul Amsellem: K♥Q♦
Fady Kamar: A♦J♥
Amsellem took the lead on the 10♦6♣Q♥ flop with a pair of queens, while the 7♠ turn left him a card away from a double up. The river, though, was the A♥ and Kamar spiked an ace to win the pot and send Amsellem to the rail.
Junjie He and Jonathan Rosenwasser were also eliminated within the first few minutes of the day.
