Bailey Drills the River For the First Knockout
Level 2
: Blinds 200/300, 300 ante
A loud commotion came up from Louis Bailey's table, as he just scored the first elimination of the tournament.
There was already around 25,000 in the middle when Bailey and an opponent went to the turn on a board of 5♦4♥6♦9♠. Bailey was in the cutoff and then got in his last chips, while his opponent in middle position stuck in his last 45,000.
The middle-position player showed 9♣9♦ for a set, while Bailey had A♦A♠. The river, though, brought the A♣ to give Bailey a higher set, and the middle-position player was sent to the rail.
