Elie Abdallah has certainly been riding a rollercoaster on this final table. Just a few minutes after losing most of his chips in a cooler on the river, he played a blind-on-blind hand against Brenda Blackburn that saw her raise her sb to 180K and Elie called. The flop came
… and it was time for action.
Brenda opened with a bet of 200K, which was met almost instantly with Elie’s shove over the top, and Brenda went in the tank. The amount was plainly visible, but regardless she asked for the 200K to be brought in and for a count of the remaining – he had 545K more. Eventually, she made the call.
Brenda: 8h
Elie:
The turn and river were the and
which changed nothing, and Elie was up to 1.7M
A couple of hands later, he was on the button and got involved in a 3-way hand with the small blind (Gary Lucci) and bb (Mykyta Kurilenko) and with the pot at almost a million chips, on the river, Elie bet 635K and got two folds to bring up his stack to over 2.5M.
Play now continues in level 29.
