Ayyaz Lightens the Field as Bubble Draws Near
Level 16
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Faraz Ayyaz opened on the button and just behind him, the player in the small blind shoved for his last 150,000. Action was back on Ayyaz, who tanked a bit, but eventually stuck calling chips into the middle with a covering stack.
Small blind: K♥10♠
Faraz Ayyaz: 8♦8♠
It was a race, but the 8♥7♥7♦ flop gave Ayyaz a full house to leave his opponent drawing nearly dead.
The A♥J♠ runout changed nothing and Ayyaz collected his opponent's stack.
Just 101 players remain with 95 making the money.
