Mass Exodus on Table 14

Level 8: 600 / 1,200 ante: 1,200

With one open seat on table 14, Michael Gathy puts his hopes on A♠ 6♠ for the gutshot and nut flush draw on a T♠ 9♦ 7♠ flop. Kristof Mato looks him up with the T♥ 9♠ and boats up on the T♦ turn to make the 3♣ river a formality.

One hand later, Trong Hieu Ngo looks up two short stacks with Q♣ J♣ and flops top pair to suddenly cause four open seats.

"What did I miss?" Muhammad Shamsudin jokes when he arrives back to his seat with a monster stack at his disposal.
