Yockey Cracks Elamawy's Aces
Sameh Elamawy opened to 9,000 in the cutoff, and Bryce Yockey made the call on the button. Ryan Depaulo came along in the small blind, with Dario Sammartino defending from the big blind.
Depaulo and Sammartino checked the 5♦4♠10♣ flop, and Elamawy continued for 17,000. Yockey and Depaulo called, while Sammartino got out of the way.
Another check from Depaulo followed the 3♣ turn, with Elamawy firing again for 65,000. Yockey was the only caller, and the 4♥ river completed the board.
Elamawy bet 175,000, and Yockey moved all in for 425,000.
"I can't beat quads," said Elamawy as he slid his cards into the muck.
"I don't have quads," answered Yockey, leaving his opponent short.
On the very next hand, Elamawy moved all in from the hijack and Yockey called in the cutoff.
Sameh Elamawy: A♣A♥
Bryce Yockey: Q♠Q♥
Elamawy watched as Yockey picked up pieces on the 9♦10♠5♥ flop, K♠ turn and J♥ river to make a straight and secure the elimination. Elamawy quickly reentered and moved to his new seat.
