First of the knockout hands saw Todd under the gun betting $20K only for Charlotte to push for around $55K. Todd thinks for a few seconds and calls. Charlotte rolls over pocket 5's and Todd shows pocket 9's. Flop comes out 4,3,2, putting Todd ahead but giving Charlotte a straight draw. Turn comes a 7, river a 3, no help to anyone and Todd's 9's hold up sending Charlotte out on 5th.
Up next Danny with A,6 goes all in on the button for around $15K to be called by Ray on BB who has J,10. The flop misses everyone leaving Danny ahead for a brief moment but then Ray has some luck and hits both live cards with runner runner T, J to win with two pair.
Next up Ray and Jason go all in, Ray with K,7 and Jason with K,10. Flop is dealt out A,6,J, not helping Ray but giving Jason a gutshot draw. Ray picks up a 7 on the turn and river is no help sending Jason home in 3rd position.
Last hand of the night Todd bets out $20K and Ray shoves only to be insta-called by Todd. Ray's holding K,Q but Todd has A,8. Flop comes out 3,7,A putting Todd firmly ahead. Turn is a J giving Ray a gutshot, but the board holds with a rag river and Todd's Aces are good.
Congratulations Todd! And well done to everyone.
