Ayub Takes the Lead!
Level 28
: Blinds 300,000/600,000, 600,000 ante
Ionut Dumitrana limped from under the gun with 3♥3♦. Ali Ayub raised to 2,200,000 in early position with A♠8♠.
Both players checked the A♥J♣8♥, but Ayub bet 2,200,000 on the 8♦ which filled him up. Dumitrana made the call.
The K♠ completed the board and Ayub bet huge for 10,000,000. Dumitrana went through the action in his head but opted to fold and Ayub took the pot and the chip lead.
Not bad considering he was claiming he had no hands at all in the last two days earlier in the session.
