Ami Alibay Doubles Thru Matthew Brunskole

We have seen a few short stacks pushing all in during the first 10 minutes of play today, with both Marc Guerbilsky and Edouard Dupuis doing so without getting a caller. Ami Alibay found himself all in and at risk, too, and he survived.

Alibay’s hand begins with Matthew Brunskole raising to 60,000 from the button and Alibay calling from the big blind. The flop comes all hearts — [Ah][Th][7h] — and both check. The turn is the [8c], and after Alibay bets 100,000, Brunskole raises all in, and Alibay calls with his remaining stack of 385,000.

Brunskole has [Ad][8s] for two pair, but Alibay has a flush with [9h][8h]. The river is the [Kd], and Alibay doubles up.

Ami Alibay – 890,000 (30 bb)
Matthew Brunskole – 405,000 (14 bb)
