Isle Open Event 7 (Flight 1E): Sayegh Amongst A New Group Climbing The Leaderboard

2017 Isle Open | Event #7
$360 No Limit Hold'em | $200,000 GTD
Level 12 (Blinds 800/1,600/200)
Total Flight 1E Entries: 200

Sam Sayegh (Ft. Lauderdale, FL) was all smiles after getting Juan Rodriguez to fold (what could have been the best hand).

Just as we approached Table 5, Sam Sayegh (Ft. Lauderdale, FL) was check-shoving over Juan Rodriguez's 15,000 bet, on a K♣ Q 4 flop.  Sayegh, who was all-in for over 120,000, was putting Rodriguez in a spot to decide for his tournament life (Juan had about 65,000 behind).  After some chatter between players, Rodriguez would flash the K, before tossing his hand in the muck.  In return, Sayegh showed Juan the Q♠...but nothing more.  Regardless of what Sam held, he ended up winning the pot, and would chip up to more than double the current chip average (which is 68,000).

Players are heading on heading on their final break of the flight, and will return to Level 13, with new blinds of 1,000/2,000/300.  Once players return to their tables, we will bring you updated chip counts from the remaining field.
