Asa McGrath opened to 600 from the Hi-jack. Seated in the Small Blind, Tony Cartwright was the sole caller.
Cartwright checked the 9♦7♦3♠ flop and McGrath bet 800. “You on a draw?” Cartwright asked his opponent before moving all in for 10,500. McGrath made the call faster than the speed of love.
Tony Cartwright: 8♦6♦
Asa McGrath: 9♣9♥
It was, in fact, Cartwright who had the draw, and boy, wouldn’t it be cool if he hit a straight flush? The said scenario didn’t play out, though; the K♣K♥ runout secured McGrath the pot, and Cartwright was eliminated. Time will tell whether he decides to re-enter the tournament; late registration is open until Level 10 starts (i.e., 21:30).
Asa McGrath: 50,500
Tony Cartwright: 0
