Eljach Wins at the Table of Death
Level 1
: Blinds 100/300, 300 ante
Most tables in the tournament area are filled with qualifiers and hopefuls taking their big shot at poker stardom. Table #130 isn't one of them, for around this table are Viktor Blom (Seat 1), Ole Schemion (Seat 4), and defending champion Omar Eljach (Seat 8).
In the last hand at this table, Eljach was in the big blind and called a raise of 1,000 from Stefano Aprile in the cutoff. Both players checked the A♥7♠9♦ flop.
Eljach led out for 2,500 on the J♥ turn and Aprile called. The river came the 5♦ and Eljach fired out another 14,000. Aprile this time snap-folded.
