Five Minutes of Madness
An utterly extraordinary five minutes of poker has seen two hands, three exits and a sheer mountain of chips for Tamer Kamel.
In the first hand Kamel opened to 10,000 preflop and Suketu Patel called before Antonio Buonanno made it 35,000 in the big blind. Kamel and Patel both called to see a flop.
Buonanno bet 35,000, Kamel called and then Patel also called to see the on the turn. Buonanno fired 100,000 this time and Kamel called again before Patel decided to shove for 280,000. Buonanno called then Kamel moved in for just over 400,000 in total and Buonanno called that as well.

Patel:
Kamel:
Kamel was genuinely delighted to see his two opponents only had three outs between them. The river came and it was the . Patel was out, Buonanno was left with 240,000 and Kamel suddenly had 1,350,000.
But that wasn't the end of it.
The very next hand saw Ben Winsor move all in for 80,500 from early position. Kamel flat-called behind him and it was passed to Buonanno in the small blind who also called.
The flop was and Buonanno moved all in, Kamel called instantly.

Winsor:
The turn and river changed nothing and Buonanno went from chip leader to out. Kamel has 1.7 million chips, that's average for the final table.
