One Hundred Left

[user66118]

Bassel Moussa got the remaining 12,900 of his chips into the middle preflop, first into the pot. The action passed all the way around to the blinds where Sejaan Saadeh quickly and quietly said, "I call." He tabled {Q-Hearts}

, and Moussa was in a bad way with {A-Diamonds}

.

The flop was no good at all for the at-risk player as it came down {Q-Diamonds}

to improve Saadeh to top set. The door would open a crack when the turn {9-Diamonds}

gave Moussa a flush draw, but it slammed closed on him when the river brought a blank {A-Hearts}

. The set of queens is the winner for Saadeh, sending Moussa to the exit with 100 players remaining.
