Disaster Flop Sends Abdalla Out the Door

Level 6 : 250/500, 75 ante

It's not been a good day for Jake Abdalla.

He was eliminated from the $100,000 Challenge earlier in the day, and then he jumped into the Main Event only to fall on a nasty flop. We're not sure of the preflop action, but on the {8-Spades}{5-Hearts}{6-Hearts} flop, Abdalla bet 3,600, Steven Tabb raised to 7,500, and Abdalla moved all in. Tabb called with the {7-Hearts}{9-Hearts} for the flopped nuts with a flush redraw, which was well out in front of Abdalla's {a-Clubs}{a-Spades}.

The {K-Clubs} turn left Abdalla drawing dead, and he watched helplessly as the {K-Diamonds} river put an end to his 2015 Aussie Millions Main Event.

Grigg Runs Into Pocket Rockets

Level 6 : 250/500, 75 ante
Tom Grigg
Tom Grigg

Tom Grigg had been nursing a shorter stack much of the day, and he recently got his last 16,600 all in preflop only to find himself in dire straits against David Zhao.

Grigg: {a-Clubs}{q-Hearts}
Zhao: {a-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}

"That's alright," Grigg said of the {3-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} flop, which gave him chop outs to a wheel. Unfortunately for him, the chop never materialized as the {K-Spades} blanked on the turn followed by the {J-Hearts} on the river. With that, we bid adieu to Mr. Grigg.

Deadman more than Alive

Level 6 : 250/500, 75 ante

Simon Deadman can't stay out of the pots and the updates right now. He's been playing a very trappy game when in need of chips the most and it's working. Earlier he defended his big blind versus Casey Kastle and check-called three streets (including all in on the river) for a double up, and he just did the same.

A player in the cut-off raised to 1,300 and Deadman peeled. The board ran {2-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{j-Hearts} and he check-called bets of 1,600, 4,400 and 16,000 all in holding {a-Clubs}{j-Hearts}. It was good as his opponent could only muster {q-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}.

Deadman Alive

Level 6 : 250/500, 75 ante

Simon Deadman has done a lot of ducking and diving to stay alive today. He was just all in again and survived with 23,500 to his name.

He was under the gun and battling with a player in the next seat along. The two had made it to the turn with a board reading {8-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{10-Clubs}. Deadman checked to face a 3,000 bet that he treated to a check-raise all in for 15,075. His opponent though for a couple of minutes before releasing his hand.

Awerbuch Disappears

Level 5 : 200/400, 50 ante

We noticed Chad Awerbuch had disappeared from Table 31. A quick check with Sean Giesbrecht confirmed that Awerbuch had hit the rail courtesy of Dan "jungleman12" Cates.

According to Giesbrecht, Awerbuch had made a straight on the river, which was the same card that gave Cates a flush. The rest, as they say, is history.

Srinivasan's Instincts Tell Him Second Nuts No Good

Level 5 : 200/400, 50 ante
Shyam Srinivasan
Shyam Srinivasan

"Am I good enough to fold this?" asked Shyam Srinivasan out loud to himself on the river in a hand.

He was heads up and the board read {8-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{a-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{k-Spades} with around 12,000 in the middle. Srinivasan was under the gun and checked to face an all in bet of 12,300 from his opponent on the button.

After a few minutes the Canadian folded while flashing the {q-Hearts} for the second nut flush. "Have to trust my instincts!" he commented. Someone who's won nearly $8 million online probably has pretty good instincts in those types of spots.

No Molson Recovery

Level 5 : 200/400, 50 ante

Will Molson recovered from a short stack earlier but he wasn't able to repeat the feat second time around.

He shoved his short stack in from under the gun with {a-Spades}{5-Spades} and was called by the big blind and his {a-Hearts}{q-Clubs}. The board ran {9-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{7-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{k-Spades}.
