Hayward Scores Double Knockout

Level 23 : 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Thomas Hayward
Thomas Hayward

There was a three-way all in preflop. Thomas Hayward was in the dream spot holding the {a-Diamonds}{a-Hearts} vs the {k-Diamonds}{k-Spades} of Matthew Jewett and the {2-Hearts}{2-Clubs} of the shorter stack Alen Fillipi.

The flop came {q-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{9-Clubs}, the turn was the {7-Clubs} to give Fillipe flush hope but the river was the {10-Spades} and Hayward gathered the chips of his two fallen opponents.

Elsewhere, Sammy LaFleur was eliminated to bring the field to the three table redraw.
