Anton Triples Up and then Busts

Shirley Ang

Level 19 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Alex Anton called for his last 80,000 from the cutoff for David Chen to raise enough from the small blind for the big blind to fold and get out of their way.

Alex Anton: A♠2♦ All in
David Chen: K♥2♣

The board ran out K♠Q♦4♦5♠A♣ for Anton to river top pair to stay alive and chip up a little. Unfortunately, he could not hold on to those chips and was eliminated shortly after.

Gonzalez had A♦5♥, and was bested by Guilbert's better ace, who tabled A♥Q♥.

Ali Abdulzahra got up from his chair as his A♥5♦ was flipped over and pushed into the muck.

The board read J♣9♦Q♥6♠3♣ while Toby Joyce was stacking up chips with the A♠Q♠ still visible in front of him to take him close to two million while Abdulzahra min-cashed.
