Angelakos Holds, Elamawy Eliminated

Level 1 : Blinds 100/100, 100 ante
Sameh Elamawy
Sameh Elamawy

With roughly 15,000 already in the pot, three players were on the turn of a 1058J board.

Dimitrios Angelakos manoeuvred his stack into the middle from the big blind, having both other players covered. Abdullah Turan folded from under the gun, but when action was on Sameh Elamawy, he confirmed the tournament allowed one reentry and then called.

Sameh Elamawy: 55 All in
Dimitrios Angelakos: 97

Elamawy had flopped a set, but Angelakos had snatched the lead on the straight-completing turn.

The river was the Q, which was no help to Elamawy, who was eliminated.

Turan then slammed his chips off of the table, claiming he folded a flush draw.
