Illingworth Plays the Rush

Danny Illingworth has gone on a nice little rush, eliminating two players and surging towards the chip lead.

The first hand saw Illingworth flat call the check-raise of Calixto Clemenceau on a flop of {A-?}{9-?}{4-?}. On the {Q-?} turn, Clemenceau shoved all in and Illingworth insta-called with pocket aces to have Clemenceau drawing dead with his {Q-?}{J-?}.

A few moments later, Illingworth won a preflop race with {10-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} against a short stack's {A-?}{Q-?} when the board ran out {7-Spades}{8-Spades}{6-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{9-Hearts}. Illingworth eliminates another on his way to a stack of 500,000.
