BATB Event #14 ($1,500 NLH Championship): Qasem Jamhour Eliminated In 6th Place ($22,326), On Second Hand After Dinner,

2018 Battles At The Beach
Event #14 | $1,500 NLH Championship ($500,000 GTD)

Level 27 (Blinds 30,000/60,000/10,000) | Structure
Total Entries: 433
Players Remaining: 5

Qasem Jamhour (Miami, FL) clearly came back from dinner break with a plan...which was do try and double his fifteen blind stack.  While the first shove got through, the second would end up being the last of his tournament.

Coming back as the shortest stack at the final table, Qasem Jamhour shoved over an open from Uri Kadosh, with Uri snap-folding (on the first hand).  Marshall White would open the second hand back, and when action folded to Jamhour, he'd shove once again.  This time he'd find resistance, in a call from Marshall, and the hands would be tabled:

White: A♣ Q♣
Jamhour: A♠ J

Runout: 2♠ 3 4♣ 7♠ Q

Qasim added some chop outs after the flop, but would brick the turn and river, making him the first player to depart the final table post-dinner.  This final table comes just two months after a deep run in the Lucky Hearts Poker Open Main Event, in which he earned $15,284 (28th place).  Today's result sees him walking away with $22,326, which is his largest cash since April of 2016.
