Mo Alhalwani

Mo Alhalwani was all in for 133,000 from the cutoff and Brian Ray had him at risk from the button for a slightly bigger stack.

Alhalwani: AdAc
Ray: 2c2h

Alahlwani was dominating with his aces and it got better when he made a set on the AhKh3d flop. He needed that third ace but Ray made a set of his own after the 6h turn and 2s river.

Alhalwani doubled while was left short.

Mo Alhalwani – 291,000 (29 bb)
Brian Ray – 28,000 (3 bb)

In the meantime, starting short-stack Anthony Bertuccio caught two early doubles to get back in the game.

“You’re going to have a great story tomorrow,” Bertuccio said before the start of play.
