Auzoux's Kings Crack Estrada's Aces as Hamarash Busts in Opening Level of Day 2
Karzan Hamarash opened from under the gun to 5,500 and Gregoire Auzoux three-bet from the cutoff to 15,500. Soraya Estrada was on the button and four-bet to 33,000. Hamarash then five-bet shoved for around 200,000, Auzoux shoved 110,000, and Estrada called to put both players at risk!
Gregoire Auzoux: K♣K♠
Karzan Hamarash: 8♥8♣
Soraya Estrada: A♦A♥
Estrada had her opponents crushed and was a clean runout away from a monster stack in the opening level of Day 2. However, the 10♥7♣K♥ flop had other ideas as Auzoux spiked a set of kings to take the lead.
A J♣ on the turn did give Estrada a few more outs as any queen would complete Broadway and see her snatch back the pot. Despite those extra outs, Estrada couldn't connect with the river as the 6♠ rolled off, which meant Auzoux tripled up.
The stacks between Estrada and Hamarash were counted down and the latter's 90,000 was slightly covered, which meant he was eliminated.
