Aron The First To Seven Figures

Michael Aron is sitting on a stack of about 1,130,000 after sending yet another player to the rail.

A series of raises preflop led to his opponent all in for about 170,000 with {K-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}. Aron held {10-Spades}{10-Hearts} and took the lead when the flop came down {10-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}. While his opponent picked up a flush draw, it never came as the {A-Clubs} turn and {9-Clubs} river gave the pot to Aron.

Makowsky called after about 20 seconds with {5-Diamonds}{5-Spades}, flipping with his opponent's {A-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}. The flop ran out {5-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{3-Clubs}, giving Makowsky a full house. The {2-Clubs} turn and {Q-Clubs} river officially ended his opponent's tournament, while Makowsky stacked up to about 270,000.

With the flop reading {9-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{Q-Spades}, JC Tran checked over to Maximilian Lehmanski who fired out a bet of 14,500. Tran tank-called and the {5-Spades} turned. Both players checked and the {K-Clubs} completed the board. Both players opted to check once more and Tran tabled {Q-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}. Lehmanski mucked his hand and Tran dragged in the pot.

Cherish It!

Cherish Andrews
Cherish Andrews

Cherish Andrews began Day 2 as the tournament chip leader but we found her rather quiet early on. As the day has progressed, however, she has become more and more of a force by building her stack consistently.

We recently caught up to find her looking down at a board of {3-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{9-Spades}{Q-Spades} and a bet of 45,000 from her opponent. Andrews dipped into her large tower of orange T5,000 chips and placed enough chips to call in the center of the table. Andrews then tabled {K-Spades}{9-Diamonds} for turned trips and was able to scoop the pot.

Andrews is currently sitting on one of the largest stacks in the room with 510,000.
