El-Sayed Increases Lead

Dustin Dirksen raised to 6,500 with the button and Sam El-Sayed defended his big blind.

The flop fell {q-Clubs}{6-Spades}{10-Spades} and El-Sayed check-called 12,000 from Dirksen.

The turn was the {6-Hearts} and El-Sayed check-called another bet from Dirksen - this one was worth 25,000.

Both players checked the {4-Diamonds} on the turn and El-Sayed said, "Ten."

Dirksen mucked and El-Sayed opened {10-Hearts}{4-Hearts}.

"Oh," El-Sayed grunted. "I forgot I hit four too."

El-Sayed now has a commanding lead holding over 300,000 of the 450,000 chips in play.
