Esnardo Busts Bailey to End Day 1a
Level 17
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
The first flight is over after Cirilo Esnardo opened to 25,000 from under the gun before Linwood Bailey went all-in for 62,000 from the hijack. Esnardo called to put Bailey at risk.
Linwood Bailey: J♦J♣
Cirilo Esnardo: A♣Q♣
Bailey needed to fade the overcards, but the flop was bad news when it came K♥9♣A♠ to give Esnardo a pair of aces.
The A♦ turn improved Esnardo to trips, and the Q♦ once again improved him as he upgraded to a full house to eliminate Bailey and end the evening.
