Richard Connolly Eliminated in 13th Place (£4,750)
Level 23
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Richard Connolly open-shoved all in for just under 400,000 in the cutoff and Francis Obadun reraised to 825,000 in the small blind. Hong Pham folded her big blind and the two hands were tabled.
Richard Connolly: 7♠7♦
Francis Obadun: A♦K♦
It was a coin flip and the flop of A♠A♥9♦ gave Obadun a huge lead with trip aces. The 8♣ on the turn and the 10♣ on the river were no help to Connolly who was eliminated in 13th place.
