Eljach Blasts Amsellem Off Top Pair
Level 18
: Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante
Omar Eljach raised to 32,000 under the gun and was called by Jacob Amsellem in the hijack, while big blind Petr Svoboda also came along.
"Sandwiched again. Danger," Eljach said heading to the 10?9?7? flop. He and Svoboda checked over to Amsellem, who bet 70,000.
Svoboda folded, but Eljach put in a raise to 170,000. Amsellem asked how much Eljach had behind before flashing the 10? and mucking.
Eljach showed the J? as he took the pot. "You flop the nuts," Amsellem said.
"No. I don't play jack-eight," Eljach said as both players have been quite friendly with each other at this table, constantly laughing and joking.
Viktor Blom took his seat at this table while this hand was in progress.
