Start-of-day chip leader Qasem Jamhour was in the big blind facing off against Samuel Wynder under the gun. The board was dealt to the flop and it read Qs6h3c. Wynder had bet 375,000 and Jamhour jammed for 925,000. Wynder, who had Jamhour covered, took his time, but ultimately found a call.

Jamhour: KcKh for an overpair
Wynder: TsTd

Jamhour faded an 8d turn, but Wynder found of his two outs when the river completed the board with the Th. Jamhour stood in disgust, grabbed his phone to take a picture of the carnage and hit the rail 9th. He earned $11,010 for the deep run. Wynder is now the tournament chip leader with 5,200,000.

Siddiqui’s Trips Double through Jamhour

$1,650 Deepest Stack No Limit Hold’em
Level 23: 12,000/24,000/4,000 Ante
Players Remaining: 14/367

Sheddy Siddiqui – 1,935,000
