Ray Ascends After Aces Against Aces
Level 11
: Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
The Nguyen pushed in his stack of 150,000 preflop on the button, and was looked up by Joshua Ray in middle position.
The Nguyen: A♥A♣7♥5♥3♠
Joshua Ray: A♠A♦Q♣5♠5♣
The last five in the deck appeared on the 9♣5♦8♥ flop to give Ray a set. He still had a low draw and a straight draw, but neither came in on the Q♠ turn or 9♥ river, eliminating him from the tournament.
