Eljach Gets Revenge, Then Doubles Zoufri
Level 17
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Omar Eljach eliminated Jacob Amsellem right before the break to climb above 1,000,000, exacting a bit of revenge after Amsellem had eliminated him from the WSOP Europe Main Event last month.
Shortly after coming back from break, Vincent Meli raised to 12,000 in early position and Abdelhakim Zoufri called in the small blind. Eljach then moved all in and Meli folded, but Zoufri called for 70,000.
Abdelhakim Zoufri: 9♣9♠
Omar Eljach: K♣7♣
The board ran out J♥3♦2♥3♥10♣ and Zoufri's nines stayed in the lead to earn him a double up.
"He has a lot of chips. He can do anything," a tablemate said.
"It's nothing personal. This one was personal," Eljach said, pointing at Amsellem's empty seat.
