Condon Departs Before Dinner
Alexander Condon limped in under the gun. Justin Scott then raised to 110,000 in the hijack, which Condon called once it had folded back to him.
Condon checked the 6♣4♦2♦ flop over to Scott, who quickly committed his remaining 255,000. Condon instantly called, putting his neighbor at risk.
Justin Scott: A♥K♠8♣6♠
Alexander Condon: 9♦8♦7♥6♥
The 3♥ turn helped neither player, and the K♣ river upgraded Scott to two pair, securing his double-up.
Condon was left with just 95,000, which he got in from the big blind against small blind Jeff Madsen one hand later.
Alexander Condon: Q♠6♥6♣4♥
Jeff Madsen: A♥10♠3♠2♣
Madsen found an ace on the A♣5♠7♠5♣9♠ runout, enough to take the pot and eliminate Condon just before the players were sent on a dinner break.
