Eljach's Aces Survive Against Eldabach
Level 19
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Omar Eljach raised to 41,000 in early position and Dorel Eldabach called in the small blind.
The flop came 10♦8♦3♣ and Eldabach led out for 75,000. Eljach then moved all in for around 125,000 and Eldabach called.
Omar Eljach: A♣A♠K♠Q♥
Dorel Eldabach: 8♥7♣6♣5♥
Eljach showed down aces, while Eldabach had a pair and straight draw. Eldabach missed the J♠ turn, while the K♥ river kept Eljach's dreams of a second bracelet this week alive.
"Fifty-fifty," Eldabach said as the two opponents exchanged a fist bump.
"Not quite," Eljach replied.
"Against Omar, it's more like 20-80," tablemate Quirin Zech joked.
