Ausmus Leaves Him on the Albrinck of Elimination
Level 27
: Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Brad Albrinck called from the small blind and Jeremy Ausmus raised to 300,000 from the big blind.
Albrinck knuckled the action over to Ausmus on the J♥7♦6♣ flop, and Ausmus bet 400,000. Albrinck check-raised the pot to 2,000,000, causing Ausmus to go into the tank. After a few moments of thinking, Ausmus jammed for 2,190,000. Albrinck immediately called.
Jeremy Ausmus: A♦J♣10♦9♣ 
Brad Albrinck: A♣8♦8♠5♦
Aumus had top pair against the straight draw of Albrinck. The 5♠ turn gave Albrinck a few more outs, and the 8♥ river may have improved Albrinck to a set, but Ausmus also improved to the nut straight.
Ausmus doubled up, while Albrinck was now the tournament short stack.
