Santa Cruz Fights Back Against Table Captain Elamawy

Level 7 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

With already 20,000 in the pot, the board read {4-Spades}{7-Spades}{8-Clubs}{3-Clubs}. Michael Santa Cruz continuation bet to 12,000 chips and Egypt's Elamawy then raised the price of admission, re-raising to 37,000. Santa Cruz didn't take long to move all-in for another 90,000. Elamawy took a minute before letting his hand go and nodded his head as Santa Cruz showed him the flopped set {4-Clubs}{4-Hearts}, bringing the Arizona native, Cruz, closer to the table chip lead.
