Kushner Doubles Lau and Busts Soon After

Level 18 : 5,000/10,000, 0 ante
Joseph Kushner
Joseph Kushner

Within two hands, the stack of Joseph Kushner was eventually reduced to zero after the player at risk on this action-paced final table had previously escaped from elimination more than a dozen times thus far.

Hand 1

Kushner raised to 35,000 and Ka Kwan Lau three-bet shoved for his last 97,000. Kushner eventually called and the cards were turned over.

Ka Kwan Lau: {A-Spades}{J-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}
Joseph Kushner: {Q-Hearts}{10-Spades}{9-Spades}{8-Diamonds}

The board came {A-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{K-Spades}{Q-Diamonds} and Kushner was reduced to a few big blinds only.

Hand 2

Kushner then got those few chips in preflop and Lau reraised the pot to get everyone else out of the way.

Joseph Kushner: {A-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{7-Spades}
Ka Kwan Lau: {A-Hearts}{A-Spades}{6-Spades}{5-Diamonds}

After a board of {K-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{K-Hearts}{3-Spades}, Kushner's two pair on the flop were counterfit on the turn and his flush draw also bricked to send the American to the rail two spots off the money.
