Level 20 : Blinds 15,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Billy Hayes
Billy Hayes

A huge hand has led to the demise of chip leader Billy Hayes and rocketed John Purdy into the chip lead.

Hayes raised the small blind and was called by Purdy in the big blind.

On the J107 flop, things got wild.

Hayes led for 95,000 and Purdy raised to 225,000. Hayes then moved all in for 700,000 effective and Purdy called, setting up the biggest pot of the tournament.

John Purdy: K10
Billy Hayes: K7

Hayes aggression with bottom pair had run into Purdy's middle pair and flush draw.

After the A fell on the turn, Hayes was drawing dead.

Shortly after, Hayes would be eliminated when his Ax5x ran into kings to end his day in shockingly early fashion.
