Aaron the First Massey Brother to Go

Level 19 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante
Aaron Massey on Day 1.
Aaron Massey on Day 1.

Both Aaron and Ralph Massey have been nursing short stacks as of late, and the two seemed intent on not being the first to fall. Unfortunately for Aaron Massey, he ended up being the first to go.

It happened when action folded to him on the button and he opened for 12,000. Robert Cheung called from the small blind, the big came along and all three players saw the {k-}{j-}{9-} flop. Two checks put action on Massey and he put in a big bet. Cheung then woke up with a check-raise, the big blinds folded and Massey called offf for 63,500 total.

Massey: {10-}{8-}
Cheung: {K-Clubs}{8-Clubs}

Cheung was ahead with a pair of kings, but Massey was alive with an open-ended straight draw. The {4-} turn was no helps, and neither was the {5-} river. With that, Aaron took his leave from the tournament and left his older brother (by a little more than two years) to carry on the family name.
