Great Daya for Aadam
Aadam Daya has exploded out of the blocks like a jet propelled whippet today, and is your near chip leader with 930,000. On the final hand before the break, he raised to 30,000, only for start-of-day chip daddy Drew Crawford to bump it up to 75,000. A brief pause, and Daya made the call.
The flop was , and after Daya had checked, Crawford led for 90,000. With little hesitation, Daya announced all-in, and just as quickly, Crawford made the fold, before heading out of the Amazon Room with a gentle huff.
It's been a frustrating day for Crawford who's stack has now sunk to 390,000, made up of predominantly yellow 1,000 chips after passing the greens over to Horst Eilers and now the oranges to Daya. But the day is young, and maybe the break came at precisely the right time for Crawford as he will have time to regain his composure and set his sights on rebuilding his stack.
