1C: Mudiganti Eliminates Conroy to Burst Money Bubble
Roger Conroy opened to 40,000 and the action folded to Raghunath Mudiganti who moved all in for around 250,000. The action quickly folded back to Conroy but he didn't realize it as he sat there for well over a minute as the players just thought he was in the tank.
"Oh, is it on me?" He suddenly realized, "I call," he announced immediately and tossed out a chip to put his tournament life on the line.
Conroy then flipped over A♠4♠ but ran right into the A♦A♥ of Mudiganti.
Crazily enough, the flop of 7♠3♠3♥ gave him a flush draw and a backdoor straight draw to make it a big sweat. Unfortunately for him, the runout of Q♦8♦ could not get him there, causing the rest of the field to breathe a sigh of relief as they made the money.
Now just 4 more spots to go until they bag for Day 2!
Mudiganti - 505,000
Conroy - 0
