Byrne Doubles Into the Lead
Level 30
: Blinds 400,000/800,000, 800,000 ante
A few minutes into the heads-up duel, Torey Byrne was all-in and at risk for 18.6 million but she had the best of it this time heading into the showdown against Atsushi Koyama.
Torey Byrne: A♠10♠
Atsushi Koyama: Q♦10♦
The J♥6♣2♣K♣ turn brought a sweat with the straight draws for both players but ace-high prevailed thanks to the J♠ river.
A few more hands were played after that before Byrne inquired about a possible ICM deal, which triggered a break of around ten minutes for the discussion and language barrier to solve.
