Event 18: Ghanem Going Wild

$2500 + $200 Double Play NL Championship

Saad Says, "Quads"

Event 16 ($350) runner-up Saad Ghanem (Rosedale, MD) has emerged as the Day 1B big stack. He's up to 130k after winning a monster pot with quad 5s.

Ghanem flops a set of 5s, three-bets to 10,500 and gets two callers. On the turn Ghanem bets 20k and both players call leaving themselves short.

The river is the 5♣, giving Ghanem quads and completes a flush for anyone on a club draw. Ghanem moves all-in and has both players covered. Lee Seunghwan makes the call for his last 9k, while the other player folds.

Ghanem, who won $14,000 in Event 16, shows the winner to scoop a 120k pot, Seunghwan mucks and is on the rail.
