Event 10: Elcin Makes The Right Call

$570 Deep Stack No Limit Hold’em (Re-Entry)
Level 23: 10,000/20,000/3,000 Ante

With a little over 500,000 already in the pot and a board of 6d5sJc4h4c, Cangir Elcin fired out 160,000 more but Shawn Nguyen had other ideas and went all-in putting Elcin to a decision for his tournament life.

Elcin was stuck in a quandary trying to figure out what to do.  After going in the tank and failing to get any reaction from Nguyen to his line of questioning, the clock was called putting Elcin to the final test.

Elcin flipped a single chip into the middle making the call.  Nguyen said “Pair of Fives” and Elcin turned over KsJs for a pair of jacks to win the hand.  Nguyen showed Kh5h officially ending the hand.

Elcin picked up the 1,240,000 chip pot and put himself back into contention as he went to the dinner break with 84 players still chasing the Event 10 Championship.
