button in SafariCovich Runs into Mahar's Aces
Level 3
: Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
Raymond Mahar opened to 1,600 from middle position and Frank Covich, who was sitting to Mahar's direct left made the call.
The 10♣3♣6♥ flop saw Mahar bet 3,100 and Covich jammed for 10,200 putting himself at risk for his tournament life. Mahar made the call, and the pair went to showdown.
Frank Covich: 10♠8♥
Raymond Mahar: A♥A♣
Covich had flopped top pair, but it wasn't holding up against Mahar's pocket aces.
The Q♠ turn and 5♣ river locked up the pot for Mahar, and Covich was left to hit the rail just before the dinner break on Day 1c.
