Araya & Gray Both Hold Big Slick... One is Eliminated

Level 9 : 300/600, 75 ante

A short-stacked Abraham Araya got his last 6,600 all in preflop and received a call from Chris Gray.

Araya: {A-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds}
Chris Gray: {A-Spades}{K-Spades}

Both players held the same hand and according to the PokerNews Odds Calculator there was an 85.69% chance of a split pot while each player had a 7.16% chance of hitting a winning a flush. The {2-Clubs}{k-Clubs}{6-Spades} flop wasn't too interesting, though it did leave Araya drawing to a chop and Gray a 4.55% chance of making a flush thanks to the one spade.

It was a long shot, but it came a lot closer when the {J-Spades} turned. Gray's chances jumped to 20.45%. Still not great, but the best it'd been all hand. Well wouldn't you know it, the dealer burned one last time and put out the {9-Spades}. The table reacted sharply while Araya made a beeline for the door.
