Luke Brabin has just survived an all-in with a very fortunate fall of the river card. Preflop, Edison Nguyen opened with a raise to 20,000 before Brabin popped it up to 54,000. Back on Nguyen and he moved all in with Brabin snapping it off.
Nguyen showed and Brabin dropped his head in dismay as he showed a dominated . Both players were pretty even in chips, but the board of brought both players a wheel straight for a chopped pot!
Brabin high-fived his rail as he avoided disaster to remain in contention with about 250,000 chips.
Akash Mazumdar has just got very unlucky to finish in 26th place.
We heard the dealer cry “all in and call” and made our way to Table 25 to find Mazumdar in a three-way all in with monster stack Vincent Chua and fellow short stack Paul Wilcock.
Mazumdar:
Wilcock:
Chua:
Mazumdar had his opponents dominated and was looking good to triple up.
Flop:
“There’s a nine!” Chua cried. “And another one please!”
Turn:
“Yes!” screamed Chua as he was looking to eliminate two players.
Mazumdar just looked disgusted.
River:
“Yes!” yelled Wilcock has he had hit his straight to survive.
Mazumdar, meanwhile, exited with a bad beat story.
