Berente Chops Down Eljach
Level 2
: Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
Heads-up on a flop of 2♣9♣4♥, Mark Berente bet 8,000 from the hijack and Omar Eljach, who won the WSOP Europe Main Event in this room last year, called in middle position.
The turn came the 2♠ and Berente bet another 15,000. Eljach then came back with a raise to 40,000 and Berente burned a time bank before calling.
Eljach tossed out another 50,000 on the Q♦ and Berente quickly called. Eljach turned over A♥7♥5♠4♠, but Berente had 9♥9♦8♦6♦ for a full house to win the massive pot and leave Eljach short stacked.
