Defending Champ Eljach Doubles Up
Level 9
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
After several raises, Omar Eljach got all of his 132,600 chips in from the cutoff against Nikola Minkov in the big blind, who played 30,000 more.
Omar Eljach: Q♠Q♣
Nikola Minkov: A♦K♦
"El Classico," another player at the table noted. It would be Eljach's turn to win this admittedly classic flip when the aces and kings remained absent on the 8♠J♥4♣4♦3♠ runout. He doubled up while Minkov was left with 15 big blinds.
