Van Huyssteen Goes Home After Bad Beat
Level 18
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Abraham van Huyssteen open-shoved for 465,000 from early position. It folded to Italo Modena in the small blind, who asked for a count.
He took some time to think things through before putting in a call, heading to showdown.
Abraham van Huyssteen: 9♠9♣ 
Italo Modena: 5♥5♣
The 7♠6♣K♠ flop was no threat to Van Huyssteen, but the 5♠ turn gave Modena a massive lead with a set. Van Huyssteen needed a nine, but none arrived on the 4♦ river, sending him to the exit.
