Zaher Samaan Eliminated In 8th Place ($9,050)
May 29, '13
Fireworks were indeed in the making. A short stacked Zaher Samaan moved all-in preflop with the 104 and was called by fellow short stack Pogos Simityan, who held the 77. Simityan was covered and at risk, but the board ran out KKQ2K.
Samaan was left with less than two big blinds, and despite doubling up and then picking up KK, Samaan was eliminated, as he ran into the AA of Kevin Lee.
The board ran out 1065J4 and Samaan was eliminated in 8th place, taking home $9,050 for his efforts.
