Samuel Cavanaugh
Samuel Cavanaugh
Wai Yuen moved all in before the flop for about 30,000 chips. Sam Cavanaugh did the same, moving all in with his short stack. Action passed to Matthew Wall, and he made the call, covering his opponents. With no further betting action, and two players at risk of elimination, the hands were shown down:

Yuen: {8-Clubs} {8-Diamonds}
Cavanaugh: {K-Spades} {Q-Hearts}
Wall {A-Diamonds} {5-Diamonds}

Cavanaugh caught up on the flop, as it showed up {Q-Spades} {10-Diamonds} {7-Clubs}. The turn was the {J-Spades}, and Yuen had one foot out the door. Salvation came for her though; fifth street brought a helpful {8-Spades}, giving her the winning triple eights. She has vaulted up the leader board, sitting with a healthy 90,000.

Cavanaugh, on the other hand, has no chips left, and he heads for the rail. He'll take home almost NZD $6,000 as a consolation prize.
