David Toscano raised to 20,000 from the cutoff and Aditya Prasetyo three-bet to 60,000 on the button. Fanilkumar Patel moved all in for 235,000 out of the small blind, which sent Gabriel Abusada into the tank in the big blind.

After a few minutes of thought, Abusada decides he is going to flip a coin to decide his fate.

“This is my chance to triple up,” said Abusada. “If it’s heads, I’ll call. If it’s tails, I’ll fold.”

Abusada flips a coin and it lands near the chips in the middle of the pot.

“What did it land on?” asked Abusada.

Another player informed him it landed on heads and he immediately moved his chips in the middle, which totaled about 160,000. Toscano and Prasetyo both folded.

Abusada showed 10h10d and was in trouble against Patel’s KdKs.

The board ran out 9c8h2c9h3s and Patel won the pot to eliminate Abusada in 29th place. Abusada takes home $6,775 for his effort.

Fanilkumar Patel – 495,000
Gabriel Abusada – Eliminated
