Hammers Loses Flip for Tournament Life

Level 10 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Minnesota's Tom Hammers got his stack all in preflop and found himself racing for his tournament life against Griffin Abel.

Tom Hammers: {9-Spades}{9-Clubs}
Griffin Abel: {a-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}

Hammers held the same hand Phil Hellmuth did when he took down the 1989 WSOP Main Event, but they didn't treat him as good as they did the "Poker Brat." Instead, the pocket nines fell behind when the {q-Spades}{8-Spades}{k-Spades} flop paired Abel.

Hammers had a spade flush draw but failed to his it as the {k-Clubs} appeared on the turn followed by the {10-Diamonds} on the river.
