Maruya Sends His Opponent Packing
Level 17
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Grant Maruya got involved in an all-in confrontation preflop as he had his opponent at risk.
Opponent: K♥10♥
Grant Maruya: A♠9♠
The flop was neutral as it came J♣2♥8♦, but the turn was a difference maker as it came the A♦ to upgrade Maruya to a pair of aces, but he was not out of the woods yet as his opponent could still spike a queen to survive.
The 6♥ put to bed any hope of a comeback as Maruya scooped the pot.
