Level 19
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Antonio Ma opened to 40,000 from the hijack, which was called by Kelly Mayhugh on the button.
The 6♥2♥A♦ flop did not slow Ma down. Ma chose to continue for 60,000. Mayhugh made the call.
Ma put out a big bet of 225,000 on the 5♣ turn. Mayhugh shoved for approximately 240,000, and Ma quickly made the call to put Mayhugh at risk.
Kelly Mayhugh: A♠J♣
Antonio Ma: A♣2♣
Mayhugh had the pair of aces, but he was in trouble nonetheless because Ma flopped two pair to take a commanding lead.
Mayhugh was unable to find a jack or a counterfeit out on the 9♠ river to be eliminated from the tournament.
