Elamawy Shows a Winner
Level 1
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Three-way action saw Brandon Steven, Gabriel Andrade, and Sameh Elamawy all commit 8,000 before the 7♦K♦8♠ flop.
Andrade checked in the small blind, and Elamawy fired another 8,000 into the middle. Only Steven called to see the K♣ turn, and Elamawy slid out a bet of 15,000.
The call was made, and the dealer turned over the 3♠ river. Elamawy fired one last time for 25,000. After taking a moment, Steven called.
"Nines," Elamawy claimed as he showed 9♠9♣. That was enough to claim the pot, as Steven slid his cards into the muck.
