Start of Day Chip Leader Bows Out

Calum Grant

Level 30 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Start of day chip leader Zachary Hall has been nursing a short stack as of late and he decided to raise to 1,100,000 from under the gun. This left him with just 1,000,000 behind.

Yaroslav Ohulchanskyi, also a short stack, agonized over the decision before letting his hand go. Action folded to Joshua Payne, who made it 2,500,000 from the hijack.

Daniel Holzner, who was in the small blind, had just 2,150,000 himself and he went into the blender before allowing Hall and Payne to duke it out.

Zachary Hall: K?Q?
Joshua Payne: 10?10?

Hall was pleased to see he was flipping, but the 8?4?3? flop kept Payne ahead. The 5? turn and 2? river confirmed Hall's exit and he fell late on in Day 6.
