Elamawy Double Moves Him Into Chip Lead Contention

Level 4 : 300/600, 600 ante

Cards were already on their backs in a huge pot on a board of {6-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{9-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{a-Diamonds}, where Sameh Elamawy scored a full double to 159,000, skyrocketing him among the chip leaders. His {a-}{7-} had trumped his opponents {10-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} on the turn, and he held through the river.

The Egyptian excitedly announced to the PokerNews reporter ''Where were you guys earlier? I've been asking for you for fifteen minutes, I'm chip leader!''
