Tureniec Straghtened Out
Michael Tureniec spent most of this level hoovering (other brands of vacuum cleaners available) up the chips of those around him as he tried to wrestle a firm grip of the tournament. Martin El-Kher put a stop to that after he was fortunate to back into a straight.
El-Kher opened to 8,000 from the cut-off and emptied the clip with bets of 10,000, 22,000, and 42,000 on each street. Tureniec was the only caller on the button and all the way through the 
board.
El-Kher opened 
for a back door straight and the pot.
