Players Remaining: 6 of 129
Daniel Jones moves all in from the hijack for 138,000 and Max Brown moves all in on the button for about 175,000. The blinds fold and Jones finds bad news when the cards are turned face-up.
Jones shows [Ah][7h] and needs an ace against Brown’s [7s][7d].
The flop is [Kh][6s][2h], which gives Jones a lot of equity with the nut flush draw. The turn is the [Qc], keeping Brown in the lead, and the river is the [3c]. Jones can’t improve and is eliminated in 7th place. He earns $2,020 for his finish at his first RIU final table.
Max Brown – 325,000
Daniel Jones – Eliminated
