Rayel for the Win



We had 25 players tonight in the weekly classic creating a total prize pool of $2134.  Final table also scored 100 bonus points this week.

Top 4 were, Danny, Rayel, Ray and Will.

Danny found himself severely short stacked and UTG and shipped it in the dark with 1/3rd BB.  After the flop, Rayel isolated it with A,Q (2 overs to the board).  Danny looked down and had 2 live cards, K,7.  Danny didn't hit on the turn or river but was happy with 4th.

Ray had a go at taking some blinds and went all in pre-flop with 7,5 and got called by Rayel with A,3 spades.  Flop came 4s,Js,3, turn a Q and river the 5s.  Ray was pleased to see his pair of 5’s on the river, until he realised that it made Rayel's Flush.  Ray went home with 3rd and a decent chunk of points for his first week back after a break.

Heads up was between Rayel and last week’s $10 turbo winner, Will.  They played out for around 20 minutes until the deciding hand.  Blinds were 5,000/10,000.  Will raised on the small blind and got a re-raise by Rayel to put him all in.  Will insta-called showing A,K with Rayel holding A,10.  The flop missed everyone, but the turn hit Rayel and he scooped the pot with a pair of Ts.

A nice result for Rayel after putting the table under a lot of pressure during final table.  Also kudos to Will for getting a 1st and a 2nd in back to back tournaments!
