Aaron Massey's Been Waiting Three Days For This

Level 17 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

Aaron Massey

On the first hand of the day, Aaron Massey was in the small blind with a dead big blind, since Patrick Eskandar hadn't arrived yet.

Sam Phillips opened in late position to 13,000 and Massey shoved all in. Phillips got a count and was happy with the rough estimate Massey gave him. Phillips called 71,500.

Massey had {a-Diamonds}{j-Clubs} against the {k-Spades}{9-Spades} of Phillips. The board ran out {6-Spades}{5-Clubs}{3-Spades}{a-Clubs}{9-Hearts} and Massey was able to dodge the flush draw and earn the double up.

"This is exhilarating, I've been waiting three days to double up."
