Elie Kortbawi Finally Finds a Hand, Doubles Off Mike Leah

“I don’t care if I bust. Just give me a good hand,” Elie Kortbawi says. “Write that I’ve been card dead. If I lose that’s the reason. Not because they are better than me,” Kortbawi adds.

Mike Leah then raises to 40,000 in early position and Kortbawi moves all in for 230,000 on the button. Leah snap-calls.

“Give me a queen one time,” Kortbawi pleads, and he gets his wish on the flop. The rest of the board comes and Leah hands over most of his stack.
