Ayala Calls for the Five and the Five Arrives
Level 16
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Action caught up to a hand between Jesse Ayala in middle position and a player in the big blind, with Ayala betting enough on the 2♣7♣8♠ flop to put the player in the big blind all-in.
"I want to believe you, but I just can't," said the player in the big blind before putting in the calling chips.
Big Blind Player: J♥7♠
Jesse Ayala: 9♥7♥
The big blind player had the right instinct, but the 6♥ turn would add additional outs for Ayala.
"Five," stated Ayala before the dealer put out the final card.
Ask and you shall receive as the 5♣ fell on the river, scoring the straight and the elimination for Ayala.
