Joe Elpayaa Eliminated by Winfred Yu

Dec 5, 2010

With the board showing [Ac7s4s2c] on the turn, Joe Elpayaa (BigEgypt) bets 7,800 from the small blind, and Winfred Yu moves all in for 113,400. Elpayaa asks for a count, and asks, "Why so much?"

Elpayaa eventually calls with [Ah3c] for a pair of aces with a gutshot straight draw. But Yu turns over [5c3h] for a five-high straight, and Elpayaa needs to catch a five on the river.

The river card is the [Qs], and Yu wins the pot with his straight. Elpayaa’s stack is counted down, and Yu has him slightly covered. Joe Elpayaa is eliminated from the tournament.
