Tides Turn for Northcraft
Level 15
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Level 12: Blinds 2k/4k/4k
After a preflop betting war, three stacks found their way into the middle, with Eddy Northcraft covering.
Player 1: Q♥8♥
Player 2: Q♦Q♠
Eddy Northcraft: A♦8♦
The player holding queens had a sizeable lead going into this bout, but the flop of 9♠A♠2♥ immediately turned the tide in Northcraft's favor with a pair of aces.
The runout of 6♠4♦ failed to provide any help to the at-risk players and they were eliminated while Northcraft raked in the substantial pot to boost him to 550,000.
