Park Sends Flight J to Day Two
Jonathan Park just bagged one of the largest stacks across all starting flights.
With blinds at 10,000/15,000/15,000, Jonathan Park opened to 30,000. Salim Ishikov called in the small blind and Amir Abathi three-bet to 105,000 from the big blind. Park noticed that Abathi had roughly 275,000 behind. Park four-bet jammed as the covering stack.
Ishikov folded and Abathi said, "I'm probably behind." Abathi called to put himself at risk with queens. Park tabled ace-king.
Park: A♦K♣
Abathi: Q♦Q♣
Board: A♥4♦2♥6♠8♦
The ace-high flop put Park out in front and Park held on the 6♠ turn and 8♦ river. Abathi collects $360 for 13th place and the remaining twelve players will return for day two.
