Russell Sends Ajayi to the Rail

Level 3 : 100/200, 200 ante

The flop showed {10-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{7-Clubs} and there was around 3,000 in the pot. The action was unsure at this point but Jack "Magic Jack" Russell had 12,000 in front of him and Adedapo Ajayi moved all in for just under 40,000.

Russell thought for several moments and then Ajayi called the clock on his opponent. Russell called and the two tabled their hands.

Adedapo Ajayi: {a-Spades}{9-Diamonds}
Jack "Magic Jack" Russell: {10-Hearts}{6-Hearts}

The {2-Clubs} turn and {10-Clubs} river did not improve Ajayi's hand as he was eliminated by the three tens of Russell.
