Norman Sent Out by Abdallah
Level 15
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
On a heads-up flop of 9♥8♠7♥, Derek Normand led out for 9,000 and was then raised to 29,000 by [Removed:460]. Normand responded by moving all in and Abdallah snap-called to put him at risk.
Normand tabled 9♣10♥ for top pair and open-ended, but Abdallah had him bet with 5♥6♥ for a made straight and a flush draw.
Unfortunately for Normand, the runout of K♣9♦ did him no favors and he was sent to the rail seven spots from the money.

Ruben Continues the Sun Run
Level 13
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
On a heads-up turn between Brad Ruben and Christina Sharkady, the board read Q♥J♥2♦8♠ when Ruben bet 36,000 and Sharkady called.
The river fell the 6♥ and Sharkady led for 50,000 but then Ruben moved all in to cover.
"F*ck...well I don't think I can fold... only one hand beats me..." Sharkady said aloud as she counted her stack.
After about twenty seconds, she made the call to put herself at risk and tabled K♥3♥ for a king-high flush, but then Ruben showed her the bad news with A♥2♥ for the nut flush. The table went crazy at the strength of their hands as Sharkady exited the tournament while Ruben was pushed the pot to become the dominant chip leader.
