| For those that don't know Nagui Yassa (Ft. Lauderdale, FL), you can always spot him wearing his patented "WTF" hat. |
Electronic devices are very prevalent at the poker tables, as players use them to "pass the time" between hands, and keep from boredom turning into catastrophe. Passing Table 1, Nagui Yassa (Ft. Lauderdale, FL) was playing a game on his phone (what looked like the old school Nintendo game Arkanoid), seemingly oblivious to what was going on at the table. That would explain our surprise, when we suddenly saw Yassa dump his remaining 14,000 stack across his cards, on a flop of J♥ 10♥ 3♦. Nagui was actually involved in a hand, and would get called by a shorter stacked player. When the cards were tabled, it would be Nagui's J♠ 3♠ (flopped two-pair) against K♥ Q♦ (open ended straight draw, with running flush possibilities). The turn (6♠) and river (8♠) ran out clean for Yassa, who knocked out his opponent, and chipped back up above the starting stack.
Yassa is coming off a solid 2018, which was headlined by a win in the $360 No Limit Hold'em ($100,000 GTD) stand-alone event, that ran in November (the win was worth $20,750).
Nagui Yassa - 30,000 (50bb)
