Abernathy Does it With Seven-Deuce

"She's been crushing all of us," Floris van der Ven told us with a wry smile, while looking over at Samantha Abernathy, as his stack totals just 13,000.

Abernathy, sunken away in deep though while listening to some music, pulled out one of her earbuds and tilted her head up in a enquiring motion.

"He said that you're crushing us," Thomas Brader laughed, answering Abernathy's silent question.

"With seven-deuce," Abernathy added with a smile, and Van der Ven explained to us what happened.

Van der Ven went on to say that he raised holding ace-queen from the cutoff, and both the button and big blind, Abernathy, called. The flop came down and all three players checked.

On the turn another hit and Abernathy lead out for 1,200, and only Van der Ven called. The river was a blank and both players checked, after which Abernathy raked in the pot showing .

"It's not a big pot, but still," Van der Ven added, as he's facing an uphill battle with a small stack. Abernathy meanwhile is the chip leader of the tournament.
