Najeeb Elkamand
Najeeb Elkamand

David Yoon opened to 1,000,000 in middle position and Najeeb Elkamand called in the big blind taking them to a flop.

On the flop J♠7♥8♠, Elkamand shoved all-in for 1,400,000 and Yoon snap-called.

Najeeb Elkamand: 6♥5♥ All in
David Yoon: A♠Q♠

Elkamand had an open-ended straight draw but Yoon was ahead with his ace-high, plus a chance to improve with a flush draw. The turn 9♠ completed Elkamandàs straight but also completed Yoon's flush leaving Elkamand to draw dead.

The dealer completed the board with a 7♠ sealing Elkamand's fate to claim his payout.
