Ajayi Gets a River Shove Through; Recent Eliminations

Level 14 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Dapo Ajayi

On the last hand of the previous level, there was about 58,000 in the middle from preflop action on a flop of {k-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{k-Spades}. Kane Lai checked from middle position to put action on Dapo Ajayi, who was in the hijack. Ajayi bet 15,000 and Lai called.

The turn came {3-Clubs} and action went check-check. Lai then slid out a bet of 45,000 on the river {a-Clubs}.

Ajayi then went into the tank for about two full minutes before announcing an all-in raise. Lai asked to have the 45,000 pulled in to see how much more he had to call. That number totaled 52,500, which sent Lai into the tank himself.

After about a minute of thought, Lai let his hand go and Ajayi raked in the pot.

During the hand, Greg Jennings knocked out Josh Williamson on an adjacent table. A few minutes prior, Will Givens was knocked out in a blind-on-blind situation against Bobby Sanoubane. These recent eliminations happened shortly after the fourth table broke, meaning they were the first two eliminations after the tournament reached three tables.

Twenty-eight now remain a few minutes into the penultimate level of the night.
