Eljach Hanging on a Thread
Level 19
: Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante
Omar Eljach and Benjamin Alacam went heads-up to the J♠4♦K♠ flop where Alacam moved all in. Eljach also put in his last chips.
Benjamin Alacam: Q♣J♣9♠6♣
Omar Eljach: A♣10♣10♠3♠
Alacam was ahead with a pair of jacks, while Eljach was chasing a straight. He pointed at the board pleading for help, but none arrived on the 6♦ turn or K♣ river.
Eljach stood up to make his exit, but a recount showed Alacam had 81,000 in his stack and Eljach barely had him covered. Eljach remained in the tournament, but only barely as he's now on an extreme short stack.
Dmitrij Fadeev and Marek Uharcek were eliminated at the same time on other tables.
