Ballard Busts
Jordan Westmorland opened to 12,000 from the button before Stewart Ballard moved all in from the small blind for a total of 66,000. Chiu Yeung Lee made a reluctant fold from the big blind as Westmorland made a crying call.
“You’re ahead,” said Westmorland.
“No, you’re ahead,” replied Ballard.
It turned out that Ballard was right, as his was trailing the of Westmorland.
The board ran out to see Westmorland’s hand hold as Lee was screeching something hysterically about folding pocket eights. Ballard adds some handy points in the ANZ POTY race as he departs in 11th place. With that, we are one off the final nine and playing two five-handed tables.
