Action of the Day
Acain started the day fourth in chips but struck lightening early on as he chipped up in a multi-way pot against Isidro Martinez and Christian Taylor. He then continued his run up the leaderboard as he eliminated Sridhar Sangannagari in 11th, Yavine Brewer in 10th and Isidro Martinez in ninth propelling his stack to the chip lead.
Taylor regained his lead when they were down to three-handed, but Acain soon turned the tables on Taylor as he won a massive flip for his tournament life with ace-jack with one diamond against king-ten on a ten-high all diamond board.
"Amazing, I feel pretty good about it", said Acain to in his post-game interview. "It's like my dream come true''
Acain started playing poker in 2008. "My skills developed in 2013 and I never looked back after that. I was mainly a cash game player before."
The big moment came when Acain shoved into Kingery's aces with ace-three off but went runner-runner flush to score the victory. "I got so lucky on that one. I knew he got me when he snap called. Poker god is with me"
Congratulations to Henry Acain for winning his first bracelet in Event #5: $500 The Housewarming No-Limit Hold'em!
