Aweida Catches Heat Early

Level 5 : 300/500, 500 ante
Sammy Aweida

Elenna Martinez found herself down to 9,100 and open-jammed under the gun. A player in early position called and then Sammy Aweida re-jammed, forcing the early-position player to relinquish his hand.

Elenna Martinez: {5-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}
Sammy Aweida: {q-Spades}{q-Clubs}

Martinez found herself with a shot at a triple but needed to find a five in order to get it. No help came as the board ran out {7-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{a-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} to leave Aweida's queens best and earn him the pot and the knockout.

After entering the tournament midway through Level 4, Aweida is already above 100K, confirming with PokerNews that he immediately woke up with two kings to knock out a short stack once he sat down. He then found a full double after getting stacks in on a board reading {8-}{9-}{j-}{10-} with {k-}{q-} against his opponent's {q-}{10-}.
