It was a roller coaster ride heads up tonight with the chip lead changing several times on short stack doubles. By the final level of play, there were less than 40 big blinds on the table, but it still took some effort for Nicholas Lee to get Mark Aylward-Nally’s share.
It finally happened late in Level 30 when Lee raised to 400k and Aylward-Nally called to see a flop of A♦9♠7♣. Aylward-Nally check-shoved over a 250k bet from Lee and Lee called.
Neither player hit the ace, but Aylward-Nally was on second pair with queen-nine. Lee had that beat with red pocket jacks and the 5♦4♠ runout were bricks. Lee had the advantage at that point and Aylward-Nally had to settle one short of the ring.
