Gugerbauer Spikes The River to Fade Elimination
Level 12
: 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Assaf Hussain raised to 4,500 from middle position and action folded to Thomas Gugerbauer in the small blind, who shoved for his last 13,000. Hussain called to put Gugerbauer at risk and a showdown was held.
Thomas Gugerbauer: A♠4♠
Assaf Hussain: K♣Q♠
The 8♣Q♦5♥ flop vaulted Hussain into the lead with a pair of queens, and the J♥ turn looked bleak for Gugerbauer. However, Gugerbauer drilled the A♦ on the river to pair his ace for the double up late in the evening.
