Eljach Climbs Off the Felt
Level 19
: Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante
Omar Eljach raised to 45,000 on the button, leaving himself just one red 1,000 chip behind, and Sebastian Piatek called in the big blind.
Both players checked to the river on a board of 5?6?J?9?K?, laughing the entire time, before Piatek joked he was betting pot.
"I don't think I can fold," Eljach said, tossing in his last chip.
"Ace-queen high," Piatek said as he flashed A?Q?. Eljach turned over J?J? for a set to double up his extreme short stack.
"We are laughing but I'm losing chips," Piatek said, still enjoying himself as Eljach survived near the money bubble.
