Wasam Assaf

Amelio Amato limped under the gun, David Bees called from the hijack, and Wasim Assaf moved all in from the button. The blinds folded, Amato called at risk for 275,000, and Bees quickly got out of the way.

Amato: QdQs
Assaf: AhKs

Amato was ahead for the double and slammed the door with a set of queens on the Qc8s7c flop. The Ac turn and Tc river finished the board and Amato doubled.

Amelio Amato – 592,000 (49 bb)
Wasim Assaf – 126,000 (11 bb)

Assaf was down to 11 big blinds and got them in the middle against Steve Trizis.

Assaf: Qh9c
Trizis: AdJh

Assaf had two live cards for a possible double but nothing on the Ks2s2h3cAc board could save his tournament.

Steve Trizis – 1,450,000 (121 bb)
