Crowley Shows The Nuts
Joel Crowley opened to 2,400 in the hijack and action folded around to Dapo Ajayi who defended his big blind. The flop came 
and Ajayi checked. Crowley made a continuation-bet of 2,400 and Ajayi check-raised to 7,000.
After about 20 seconds, Crowley called and the turn came 
. Ajayi opted not to keep firing, checking over to Crowley instead. Crowley cut out a bet of 13,000 and Ajayi looked over to study his opponent.
"Can I see your stack?" asked Ajayi. Crowley complied, letting him know he had just above 50,000. "Will you show if I fold?" continued Ajayi. Crowley answered affirmatively and Ajayi sent his cards to the muck, with Crowley tabling 
for the nuts before the pot was shipped to him.
Crowley finds himself with a stack of 79,800 going to the dinner break, while Ajayi has nearly triple that in a stack of 210,500 despite the lost pot.
