Elpayaa Wins a Flip vs Romero

Level 7 : 300/600, 100 ante

After a raise to 3,000 from the hijack, Joe Elpayaa three-bet shoved all in for 19,900 in the cutoff. Orlando Romero called from the big blind and the hijack got out of the way.

Joe Elpayaa: {10-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}
Orlando Romero: {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs}

It was a coin flip with Elpayaa putting his tournament life on the line. The flop of {j-Spades}{j-Clubs}{8-Hearts} proved to be safe for Elpayaa. The turn was the {j-Hearts} and the river brought the {5-Spades} as Elpayaa held on to earn a full double up.
