Three is a Crowd
Level 5
: Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
After a raise to 1,500 from James Chen sitting in middle position and a call from Omar Eljach from the cutoff; Erik Nordstrand decided to put his remaining 4,500 in the middle from the button. Action folded back around to Chen, who re-raised to 17,500. Eljach obliged, and they were off to see three.
On a flop of 10♣8♦7♦ Chen again bet, this time for roughly 22,000, putting Eljach at risk. Eljach called and cards were tabled.
James Chen: A♥J♦4♥2♦
Omar Eljach: K♣8♣7♠6♦ 
Nordstrand began heading to the rail before the 6♥ turn card, and the 7♣ river sealed the deal. Eljach ended this hand with a full house and a healthy 80,000 chip stack.
