Abrahams Busts In Artic Cooler

Javed Abrahams
Javed Abrahams

Oh dear, oh dear oh dear, the weather is starting to get cooler in London but for Javed Abrahams, well, he might as well be stranded at the North Pole after this hand. Abrahams fired out 9,600 on the turn of a {5-Diamonds} {8-Diamonds} {2-Diamonds} {J-Hearts} and Ilan Rouah made the call.

The river was the {9-Diamonds} and Abrahams began going for his stack once more.

"Don't," said Rouah, "don't do it!" But Abrahams was unperturbed, he pushed out a bet of what looked like 15,000 and Rouah instantly moved all-in. Abrahams quickly rechecked his cards and made the call turning over {A-Diamonds} {9-Spades} but Rouah was holding the only hand that could beat it, he showed {7-Diamonds} {6-Diamonds} for the straight flush to knock Abrahams out and put everyone else into the money.

After Abrahams left, Rouah said, "He could've folded."

"What?" said a slightly bemused John Tabatabai, "This isn't Omaha!"

Nevertheless we're now in the money.
