Rodgers and Motoyama Also Bust to Split the Money

Level 14 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Aaron Motoyama was all in and at risk for a remaining stack around 100,000, with the best possible hand as he was holding AA. He was facing Stephen Buell who had AJ.

Motoyama had good hopes for a double up but found a board 664JJ, giving runner-runner trips to Buell in a dramatic fashion.

A few tables next to them, the board was showed KQ710 in a heads-up pot when Neeraj Nayak bet and called a shove from Garith Rodgers who had the lower stack .

Garith Rodgers: AK All in
Neeraj Nayak: AJ

Nayak had hit a straight and the 8 river didn't change anything, sending Rodgers to the payout desk to split the first payouts.
