Evnet 8: Sammy Elkassir - 2nd Place

$400 + $50 Deep Stack Double Play NL (2 Re-Entry)

Sammy Elkassir - 2nd Place - $27,299

In just one hand of heads-up play, the tournament is over!

Sammy Elkassir (Fort Lee, NJ) has K-3 up against Alek Givotovsky's A-K of diamonds.

A-K takes down the hand forcing Sammy out of the tournament.

Elkassir will be at Borgata Hotel & Spa playing in the 2011 Spring Poker Open for the entire two weeks so we'll take this as a sneak preview of much more to come.

Although, Event 8 was his first tournament on this trip. 2nd place for $27,299 - great start!

Some key hands for Sammy included a major suck-out with his favorite hand 7-8.

Overall he said he played patient poker, waited for hands, then ran the entire table over.
