Aboudi Makes a Tough Call to Eliminate Hawksby

Level 16 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

After Jonathan Slater opened for 11,500 from the hijack and Ido Aboudi, who hails from Israel and qualified via PokerStars, called from the big blind. The UK's Andrew Hawksby, who also qualified via PokerStars, then moved all in from the big blind for 93,000. Slater got out of the way, and then Aboudi thought for about a minute before making the call.

Hawksby: {q-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}
Aboudi: {6-Hearts}{6-Clubs}

Hawksby's body language indicated that he knew he'd been caught and he began calling for a queen. Aboudi sat in silence and watched as the board ran out {4-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}. Hawksby failed to catch and hit the rail in 80th place; meanwhile, Aboudi was awarded for the tough call and chipped up to 285,000.
