Sam El Sayed Doubles Up!

We just wrote about our seventh double up, scrap that, make it eight.

Gilboa Yossi opened to 42,000 under the gun and then called when Sam El Sayed moved all-in for an additional 269,000 from the small blind. El Sayed turned over {A-Hearts}{k-Hearts} to Yossi's pocket eights.

El Sayed caught an ace on the flop, it held, and the former WPT Amneville champion survives.
