Do What the Man Sayed

Sam El Sayed, who took down the WPT Amneville just a few weeks ago for over €400,000 and then followed it up just a week later with a second place finish at the Barriere Poker Tour Grand Final for almost another €100,000, is so far having a good day here in Barcelona.

We caught up with him check-raising on a {q-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{6-Hearts} flop; his opponent Daniel Ferreira called. El Sayed bet out a little over 3,000 on the {a-Clubs} turn and Ferreira called that as well, but the 5,050 that El Sayed bet out on the {q-Hearts} river proved too much for Ferreira to call.

El Sayed looked calm and in control as he picked up the chunky pot and upped his stack to around 43,000.
