Connolly Takes on Aces

Level 14 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Alexander Connolly
Alexander Connolly

The flop read {k-Clubs}{q-Hearts}{2-Hearts} and there were around 35,000 chips in the pot when Jared Eberly pushed. Eberly had around 62,000 and action folded to Alexander Connolly who decided to call, putting Eberly at risk.

Jared Eberly: {a-Spades}{a-Diamonds}
Alexander Connolly: {8-Hearts}{7-Hearts}

The aces were on top but a {k-Hearts} turn slapped Connolly with a flush, leaving Eberly in need of a fortuitous river. The {4-Hearts} was not what he had in mind and he was eliminated just shy of making Day 2, sending his stack to Connolly who now sits near the top of the field.
