Abdine Rising
Level 9
: 800/1,600, 200 ante
Shivan Abdine finished 14th in this very event one year ago and is on track for another possible deep run. Despite a mediocre start, the Aussie has racked up a lot of chips and just recalled a hand in which he raised the cutoff with pocket eights and was called by the player on the button.
On a 
flop, both players checked and Abdine check-called a pot-sized bet on the 
turn which brought a flush draw. Abdine also check-called a shove on the 
turn and his pocket eights were good, as his opponent only had 
for the busted nut flush draw.
