El Sayed Gets Lucky Against Meryumoglu

Level 1 : 50/100, 0 ante

Sam El Sayed plays a style of poker that is highly volatile and often seems him climb to the very top of the chip counts or bust out within the first few levels.

We saw him in a hand just now over on Table 4 where Mustafa Meryumoglu checked from the big blind on a {7-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{k-Diamonds} board and El Sayed fired a bet of 4,500. Meryumoglu made the call and it was off to the {J-Diamonds} river.

Meryumoglu checked again and then instantly called as El Sayed bet 4,800.

El Sayed turned over {K-Clubs}{10-Clubs} for the straight and Meryumoglu mucked his hand; but not before showing the player in Seat 8 his cards. This prompted the dealer to reveal the hand of Meryumoglu, {9-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}.
