Action folded to David Greenough, who opened to 16,000 from the Hi-jack. Seated right next to him, James Riley moved all in for 85,000 from the Cut-off. When action came back to Greenough, he made the call, having his opponent covered.
James Riley: 9♦9♣
David Greenough: 7♦7♣
As soon as the ongoing hand was finished at the other table, Riley and Greenough were given the green light to turn over their cards. Riley maintained his solid lead on the 10♣5♠K♣ flop, but a brutal 7♥ turn saw Greenough claiming the driver’s seat. Riley didn’t manage to catch up on the 5♣ river, and as such, he became the unfortunate bubble boy. The remaining 10 players are now all through to Day 2 and guaranteed a min-cash.
David Greenough: 236,000
James Riley: 0
