Noori Loses a Flip to Bust

Level 10 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

Phil Hellmuth: {x-}{x-} / {j-Clubs}{a-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{2-Diamonds} / {x-}
Scott Abrams: {x-}{x-} / {k-Hearts}{a-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{a-Spades} / {x-}
Michael Noori: {x-}{x-} / {2-Spades}{j-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{j-Spades} / {x-}

We caught the action on fourth street where Noori was already all in. Hellmuth check-raised Adams, who called, and both players checked on fifth street. On sixth, Abrams led out, Hellmuth called, and both players knuckled on seventh.

Hellmuth showed {10-Clubs}{6-Clubs} then angrily turned over the {4-Spades} for an air ball.

"How is that possible?" he sighed. "There are no clubs on board."

Abrams flipped over {k-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{6-Spades} for aces and kings, and Noori tabled his first two down cards, the {6-Hearts}{3-Hearts}. He then peeled his last card slowly, to sweat it.

"No across club!" he said excitedly.

There are only three clubs with no sides - or are "no across" as Noori put it - the {a-Clubs}, {2-Clubs}, and {3-Clubs}. Since Hellmuth already had the ace, it meant that Noori was basically flipping to scoop the main pot and triple up, because the {3-Clubs} would give him trip threes.

Unfortunately for him, he lost the flip as he turned over the {2-Clubs}, and was eliminated. Abrams scooped the pot, and now sits with 28,000 chips. Hellmuth is back down to 7,000.
