Late Double for Jackson

Level 10 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Ashleigh Naisbitt opened to 2,000 and called the shove from Robert Jackson for his last 12,200.

Robert Jackson: {j-Hearts}{8-Spades}
Ashleigh Naisbitt: {q-Clubs}{j-Clubs}

The flop {2-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{8-Clubs} gave Jackson an unlikely lead having flopped a pair of eights, but Naisbitt had flopped a flush draw. The turn {6-Diamonds} and river {7-Diamonds} changed nothing however, and Jackson doubled up.

Abhyankar Flops O'Shea Dead

Level 10 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Jerome O'Shea shoved for 20,000 from under the gun. It folded to Nealkantha Abhyankar in the cutoff who reshoved for around 40,000. The button and blinds folded.

Jerome O'Shea: {a-Diamonds}{q-Spades}
Nealkantha Abhyankar: {9-Hearts}{9-Clubs}

It was a flip for O'Shea to stay alive, but the {9-Spades}{4-Clubs}{7-Hearts} saw him drawing dead after Abhyankar flop a set. The turn and river {10-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} sent O'Shea to the rail in the last level of the day.
