Day 1b of the Seniors Championship has reached the dinner break. Play will resume in 75 minutes.
Action went five ways to the flop, which came 6♥2♣5♥. A player in middle position bet 2,500 and was called by the cutoff, by Waheed Ashraf in the small blind, and by Stephen Nussrallah in early position.
A 3♣ fell on the turn and was checked around the table.
When a Q♦ came on the river, Ashraf fired out a bet of 12,000. Nusrallah reraised all in and Ashraf called.
Stephen Nusrallah: 4♥4♦
Waheed Ashraf: 4♠3♠
Ashraf had flopped his straight, Nussrallah had gotten there on the turn — and the pot was chopped.

Button: A♥K♥
The board ran out Qx4x4x2x8x and Gray breathed a sigh of relief as he raked in the chips.

With 8,000 in the middle with the board reading A♠A♥J♥ on the flop, the under-the-gun player, only playing their second hand of the tournament, bet 6,000 and was met with a raise of 13,000 from Kenneth Douglas on the button. The under-the-gun player snap-called.
Under-The-Gun: A♣10♣
Kenneth Douglas: K♥Q♥
The under-the-gun player flopped trip aces, but unbelievably Douglas hit their gutshot royal flush draw on the 10♥ turn. The river brought the case A♦ to give under-the-gun quad aces and they believed that they won the hand until it was pointed out by the table that Douglas had the best hand in poker.
