Omar Eljach
Omar Eljach

There was a three-way all in developing and all the chips had gone in the middle preflop. Claudio Di Giacomo was at risk for 350,000, Omar Eljach had 480,000 and Milos Petakovic had both players covered.

Claudio Di Giacomo: {9-Spades}{9-Diamonds}
Omar Eljach: {j-Hearts}{j-Clubs}
Milos Petakovic: {q-Spades}{q-Diamonds}

Petakovic was in great shape to eliminate both players with the superior pocket pair. The board ran out {10-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{8-Clubs} and Di Giacomo rivered a straight to stay alive with a triple up. Petakovic took down the side pot and eliminated Eljach in the process.

Rafael Rafi: {a-Hearts}{9-Hearts}

The flop came {10-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{5-Hearts} and [Removed:338] still held a dominating position. The {9-Spades} on the turn got a loud reaction from Rafi but the {k-Hearts} on the river brought out some swear words and [Removed:338] earned himself a double up.
