George Abdo
George Abdo

George Abdo moved all in under the gun for 21,000 and got six callers. Paul Balzano called from early position, Frankie Flowers called from middle position, Joseph Hubbell called from the hijack, Nicholas Baurichter called from the cutoff, Silvio Derubeis called on the button, and Michael Newman defended his big blind.

They were seven-handed to a flop of Qs5c2c and Newman moved all in for 177,000. Action folded around to Derubeis on the button, who called and three hands were tabled.

Newman showed Ac3c, Derubeis showed KcJc, and Abdo was drawing dead to half of the whole pot with KdJh.

The turn was the Qc to give Newman the nut flush and both of his opponents were drawing dead to the 6s river. Newman wins a massive pot, Abdo was eliminated in 10th place, and Derubeis was left with just a few big blinds.

Michael Newman – 550,000 (91 bb)
Silvio Derubeis – 30,000 (5 bb)
George Abdo – Eliminated
