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 1087 Chen again bet, this time for roughly 22,000, putting Eljach at risk. Eljach called and cards were tabled.

James Chen: AJ42
Omar Eljach: K876 All in

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.
