Abernathy Busts in Brutal Fashion

Calum Grant

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

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:
Mike Gao:

Both players had cowboys and it was very likely that each player would take back their stacks. However, the flop gave Gao some backdoor flush possibilities. The turn gave Gao outs to scoop and the river gave him a flush as well as the elimination.

Mike Gao	275,000 123,500	123,500

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

A raise to 6,000 was in front of Takahiro Sasabe on the button and Ryan Stoker then made it 23,000 to go, forcing out any other potential players involved in the hand. Once it was back on Sasabe, he pushed all-in with the far superior stack and that sent Stoker into the tank.

He ultimately shrugged, shook his head and sent the cards into the muck.
