Kevin Ayow is on a tear today. He'd already claimed two knockouts today when we walked up to see him involved in the biggest pot of the tournament.
We only saw some of the action, Praz Bansi six- or seven-bet shoved for 111,500. By that point, he was heads up with Kevin Ayow, and he needed another 74,200 to match the shove. He spent a long hard soak in the tank, but he eventually made the huge call for around two-thirds of his own chips. With about 250,000 chips piled in the pot, the cards were on their backs.
Showdown
Bansi:
Ayow:
Wow! When the dealer burned and turned up the flop, the was visible right in the window. The flop brought a king too, but the was a disaster for Bansi. He picked up a few outs on the turn, but the river has sent him on his way.
With that massive pot, Ayow has claimed the tournament life of Bansi and skyrocketed all the way up to 375,000. "My first thought was that he was squeezing," Ayow said as he stacked up.
