Andre Cracks Aces After Dinner
Level 20
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
In the first hand after the dinner break, Brandon Sheils opened the action to 25,000 from under the gun and faced a three-bet to 75,000 from Gal Bar. Action folded to Alexis Andre in the big blind, who moved all in for 202,000. Sheils called, and Bar folded.
Alexis Andre: A♠Q♠
Brandon Sheils: A♣A♥
Andre found himself in a tough spot right after the break, but the 9♠4♠9♣ flop gave him plenty of outs. One of those outs appeared on the turn as the 6♠ completed his nut flush. The 10♣ on the river was no help to Sheils, and Andre doubled up to keep his tournament hopes alive.
