Ahuja Knocked Down, Then Out
Level 35
: Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante
Ankit Ahuja raised to 5,000,000 from middle position.
Avery Williams moved all in from the cutoff with 6,900,000. Ahuja made the call.
Avery Williams: A♥Q♠
Ankit Ahuja: A♣J♠
Williams' edge didn't hold on the flop J♣3♦9♦, but the Q♥ literally turned the hand back around. The 6♦ on the river mattered not, and Williams gained a huge boost in chips.
Cut down to just 675,000, Ahuja went all in under the gun a few hands later against Ian Steinman on the button.
Ankit Ahuja: 10♠6♦
Ian Steinman: A♣9♦
The runout 2♣K♦J♣3♥5♣ didn't save Ahuja, and he was eliminated just shy of the final two tables.
