Upstairs Action

Level 2 : 100/200, 200 ante
Yohannes Ambaye on Day 1a
Yohannes Ambaye on Day 1a

A last-minute effort from everybody involved has brought about the opening of the upstairs overflow area inside Bally's Black Hawk, where three tables are currently in action.

On one table, Kurt MacDonald opened to 700 in middle position and Scott Stewart called in the cutoff. Action went heads up to the flop {a-Spades}{a-Clubs}{j-Diamonds} and MacDonald continuation-bet 1,000. Stewart called.

The turn came {8-Spades} and MacDonald fired a second barrel of 2,500, prompting Stewart to shoot his cards to the center of the table.

Moments later, Mike Vanier was seen vacating his seat at an adjacent table as his stack was pushed to Yohannes Ambaye. Vanier had shoved on the end of a board {5-}{7-}{q-}{2-}{3-} with {5-}{4-} for a pair of fives, only to run it into Ambaye's straight with {6-}{4-}.
