Sam Sayed Eliminated in 12th Place ($9,020)

Sam Sayed - 12th Place
Sam Sayed - 12th Place
Sam Sayed had recently been aggressively stealing pots and building a fast image to set a trap for one of his opponents with a big hand. The situation appeared perfect for Sayed when he raised from the small blind holding {Q-Clubs}{Q-Hearts} and Martin Comer moved all in from the big blind. Sayed called and Comer tabled {K-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}.

Sayed was set for a double up but the board fell cruelly for him. The {10-Hearts}{A-Spades}{5-Hearts}{8-Spades}{10-Diamonds} board gave Comer trips on the river to end the tournament for Sayed in 12th place. He collects $9,020 for a fine tournament.
