Chad Awerbuch Eliminated in 7th Place (A$60,000)
Level 27
: Blinds 100,000/150,000, 150,000 ante
Action folded to the blinds, where Nelson Dong shoved from the small blind to put Chad Awerbuch all in for his last 1,200,000 in the big blind. Awerbuch quickly called to put himself at risk and a showdown was held.
Chad Awerbuch: A♠K♣
Nelson Dong: A♣5♥
It was a great spot for Awerbuch, who hadn't been able to gain much momentum during the final table.
The 3♥7♣3♠ flop and 10♦ turn were safe for Awerbuch, but a cruel 5♣ appeared on the river — getting a collective "Ooooh" from everyone else at the table as Dong paired his five to eliminate Awerbuch in seventh place.
