Erion Islamay has all of the chips and seemingly all of the luck. Well that will be the point of view of one Angel Recchia right now.
The short stacked Recchia opens the button, Islamay moves all-in from the big blind and Recchia calls.
Showdown
Islamay: [Ad] [7s]
Recchia: [Ah] [Qc]
So Islamay was in bad shape, but the board soon put paid to that.
Board: [8s] [6d] [4s] [5h] [Kd]
Islamay hits a straight and Recchia is the first player eliminated today.
