Eljach Wastes No Time
Level 7
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Three-handed on a board of 3♥6♠K♣5♥, Omar Eljach led out for 7,500 from the small blind and Marco Poccia called in the big blind. George Tomescu folded under the gun and Eljach and Poccia went heads-up to the river.
The dealer flipped over 7♦ and Eljach bet another 8,000. Poccia then came back with a raise to 27,000 and Eljach snap-called, showing A♣4♣ for a straight. Poccia flashed 6♦3♦ for two pair before mucking as the defending champion took down the pot.
