Abboud bet 15,000 and Dunne went all in for 45,000. Jamison went all in as well for 45,500 and Abboud went into the tank for over a minute before letting his hand go.
Anthony Dunne:
Scott Jamison:
Dunne's top pair was in trouble against Jamison's pair of kings, leaving him with just two cards left in the deck that could help him stay alive. Neither came on the turn and the river was of just as little help, ending his day at the hands of Jamison, who now finds himself with a stack just shy of 150,000.
Anthony Dunne saw action folded to him in the hijack and opened to 6,000. The player on the button called and Andy Tran three-bet to 17,500 out of the big blind. Both players called and the flop came .
"All in," said Tran, pushing out a stack of chips. His bet effectively put both opponents to the test, with Dunne having 58,000 behind and the player on the button having 43,000 back. Dunne thought for a few moments before sending his cards to the muck and the player on the button followed suit shortly thereafter, earning Tran the pot sans showdown.

Kevin McMahon:

She now finds herself with one-and-a-half starting stacks and just shy of 20 big blinds, while Vang has dropped down to 31,000 after losing the hand.
