Eljach Gets Paid with Quads to Take Chip Lead
Level 10
: Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
With two players seeing a board of 3♣8♦9♥9♦2♦ and 62,000 in the middle, Grzegorz Derkowski bet 62,000 from the small blind only for Omar Eljach to raise to 217,000 from the button, sending Derkowski deep into the tank.
After several minutes Derkowski put in the call. Eljach tabled J♥J♣9♠9♣ for quad nines to take down a gargantuan pot.
