Conan Doubles; Former Chip Leader Out
Level 11
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Bentayeb Ayoub opened to 5,000 from under the gun and called when Marius Conan moved all in for 18,500 from the small blind.
Marius Conan: A♥J♥
Bentayeb Ayoub: K♥7♥
Conan's ace-high remained best and he doubled after the Q♠10♣8♠5♣4♥ runout.
On another table, there was a surprise departure from Edgar Aguiar.
Aguiar had been a chip leader for much of the day and was appeared a certainty for Day 2, however his chips went to "Pot and pot."
The player under that alias explained that he made Broadway while Aguiar had AxKx.
