Sayed On the Downswing

Sam Sayed has chopped his stack in half over the past couple hands -- not something you really want to do in a tournament.

On the first hand, Sayed was faced with a big decision when Nali Kaselias moved all in for 44,000 on a flop of {K-Spades} {7-Clubs} {5-Spades}. The pot sat around 40,000 when Kaselias made the move. After tanking, Sayed folded and showed a king. Kaselias was nice enough to return the favor and showed {A-?} {K-?}. Sayed dropped to 60,000.

Just moments later, Sayed took a flush draw to war with another player's pocket jacks after the flop contained two hearts. The turn and river both bricked for Sayed and he lost another 20,000 to drop to 40,000 chips.
