Abernathy Busts in Brutal Fashion

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Samantha Abernathy
Samantha Abernathy

Samantha Abernathy opened to 5,500 before Mike Gao made it 22,000. The 888poker ambassador then moved all in for around 110,000 and was snap-called.

Samantha Abernathy: {k-Hearts}{k-Spades}
Mike Gao: {k-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}

Both players had cowboys and it was very likely that each player would take back their stacks. However, the {q-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{3-Hearts} flop gave Gao some backdoor flush possibilities. The {4-Diamonds} turn gave Gao outs to scoop and the {9-Diamonds} river gave him a flush as well as the elimination.
