Middleton Hits, Still Loses
Level 12
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Mohamad El Sayed jammed all in for 19,500 once the action had folded to him in the cutoff. Tom Middleton sat in the small blind and asked for a count before making the call.
Mohamad El Sayed: A?8?
Tom Middleton: K?J?
Middleton paired his jack on the J?2?9? flop and the 6? turn saw him maintain his lead. However, the A? river saw El Sayed hit his three-outer, leading to an audible "oh my god" from the Lebanese player. He doubled up and overtook Middleton in the chip counts.
