Ciffa Running Away With It

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Very few players have crossed the 100,000-chip mark yet. Joe Ciffa, though, just surpassed 200,000 by eliminating Scott Aitchison.

With the flop showing {Q-Spades}{A-Clubs}{3-Diamonds} Ciffa checked and Aitchison bet 5,000. Ciffa called and the {2-Spades} hit the turn. Ciffa check-called again, this time a bet of 11,000, and the {9-Spades} completed the board on the river. Ciffa checked for a third time and Aitchison bet 20,000, leaving about 16,000 behind. Ciffa moved all in and a startled Aitchison shrugged his shoulders and announced a call.

Ciffa: {4-Spades}{3-Spades}
Aitchison: {A-Hearts}{A-Spades}

Ciffa went runner-runner for a flush to crack Aitchison's set of aces, sending the pro out of the tournament. Ciffa's 220,000 would place him sixth if he had bagged that amount on Day 1a, and we still have more than six levels to go tonight.
