Xiaoyao Ma Crippled, Eliminated in 10th Place ($10,995)

By April 15, 2024No Comments

Blinds: 300,000/600,000

On the last hand before the break, short stack Xuan Nguyen moved all in for his last five million and change, and from the big blind, Xiaoyao Ma called, having just one big blind left behind.

Nguyen: [Kd][Jc]

Ma: [As][9s]

Both players hit the flop of [Ac][Js][6s], but Ma was well out in front still with top pair and the flush draw. However, the [Kh] turn flipped the lead to Nguyen, and he filled up on the [Jd] river.

That left Ma with just 500,000, and he would be all in and bust on the first hand back from break against Huy Lam. With that, we have nine remaining.
