McAvoy Eying a Return to the Final Table

John McAvoy final tabled last year's Casino Employees Event, finishing 7th and earning $10,545 for his efforts. This year he hopes to return to that same final table.

McAvoy recently eliminated a player after calling an open shove to 6,000 with {A-Spades}{J-Diamonds} from middle position. His opponent tabled {7-Diamonds}{7-Hearts} and the {J-Clubs}{10-Spades}{5-Spades} flop pushed McAvoy into the lead.

Neither the {10-Hearts} on the turn nor the {4-Clubs} on the river changed anything and McAvoy was awarded the pot sending his opponent to the rail and increasing his stack to 17,000 chips.
