Connolly Busts as Clock Paused for Hand for Hand
Level 19
: Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante
Kevin O'Malley opened to 32,000 in the cutoff and Willo Connolly three-bet jammed from the button for 134,000.
O'Malley comfortably covered Connolly but took some time over his decision before making the call.
Willo Connolly: A?8?
Kevin O'Malley: K?10?
Connolly was ahead but that soon changed after the K?J?6? flop left Connolly drawing to an ace, which did not arrive on the J? turn and 10? river.
Connolly exited and the tournament director announced that the clock would be paused for bubble play. 86 players currently remain with 84 paid.
