LEVEL – 12 ANTE – 200 BLINDS – 600/1200 REMAINING – 20/69
There’s an all-in from a short-stacked player at table 9, and Nabil Esho is the only player to look him up.
Challenger – Kd-Ts
Esho – Ad-Tc
An Ace on the flop puts Esho further ahead. A Queen on the turn gives the challengers four outs to a Jack for Broadway, but the river is a 7 and Esho scores the elimination.
He moves to 70,000 and a table breaks as the Day 1A field slips to 20 players with 35 minutes remaining in Day 1A play.
