Ahaesy Cracks Aces to Double; Ishaq & Haley Fall
Level 2
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Action exploded on a flop of 7♠J♦Q♦ between Jason Ahaesy and Ben Bray, which resulted in the former getting his stack of 81,000 in the middle.
Jason Ahaesy: A♦K♦
Ben Bray: A♣A♥
Bray was ahead with aces but Ahaesy was drawing live to both diamond and straight draws. The 2♦ turn settled things as Ahaesy made his flush to lock up the hand, and he was pushed the pot after the meaningless 10♠ was run out on the river.
Meanwhile, Najib Ishaq was the first player eliminated from the tournament and Bill Haley joined the rail a short time later.
