Randy Raji

They got to the money bubble in no time but in no hurry to go anywhere what they go there. It took seven hands before we had an all in that was called, not counting one with big slick versus big slick to chop.

The final hand saw Randy Raji open the action and the small blind player shipped all in for 108,000. Raji called and they were off to the races.

Raji: ThTc
Small Blind: AcQc

It was a fair race and Raji needed his tens to hold to burst the bubble. There were two face cards on the KhJc7s but neither paired the small blind player. The 9h turn and 8h river finished the board to send the short stack player out while putting the rest in the money.

MT Tawfik finished the day with the chip lead, his 477,000 topping the 350,000 of Raji.

Players are bagging their chips and we will post the chip counts when they are available.
