Connolly Busts as Clock Paused for Hand for Hand
Level 19
: Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante
Kevin O'Malley opened to 32,000 in the cutoff and Willo Connolly three-bet jammed from the button for 134,000.
O'Malley comfortably covered Connolly but took some time over his decision before making the call.
Willo Connolly: A♣8♥
Kevin O'Malley: K♥10♣
Connolly was ahead but that soon changed after the K♣J♦6♦ flop left Connolly drawing to an ace, which did not arrive on the J♣ turn and 10♠ river.
Connolly exited and the tournament director announced that the clock would be paused for bubble play. 86 players currently remain with 84 paid.
