Massey Joins the Conversation at the Top
Level 16
: Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Ryan Tosoc opened to 10,000 in early position and was called by Darrin Oremba on his left. Aaron Massey three-bet to 30,000 in the hijack and Murtaza Muzar four-bet to 115,000 out of the big blind. Both Tosoc and Oremba folded but Massey responded with a five-bet to 200,000. Muzar just called and they were off to a flop of 8♣6♣4♠.
Muzar checked to Massey who announced all in for the rest of his 185,000 chips. Muzar asked for a count and then went into the tank for over a minute before sticking in some chips to call.
Aaron Massey: A♠A♦
Murtaza Muzar: J♠J♣
Massey was well out front with his pocket aces and the 7♥, Q♣ runout brought no help to Muzar who was eliminated shortly after.
