Ellwood Grows In Stature

Ahmed El Fatah raises to 1,500 from early position and when every folds to British pro Jack Ellwood in the cutoff he three-bets to 4,075. With the action back on El Fatah he calls.

The dealer puts out the [6c2s9h] flop. El Fatah checks, Ellwood fires a bet of 5,300 in his direction and El Fatah starts to consider his options. He finally decides that movin all in is the best course and as he does Ellwood instantly calls.

El Fatah: [JcJs]

Ellwood: [AcAh]

El Fatah is in a whole world of pain and drawing to two outs. The [5c] on the turn is not one of them and neither is the [4h] on the river. El Fatah heads for the exits whilst Ellwood is back to an average stack of around 45,000 chips.
