Awada Gone

Joe Awada flopped a strong draw but couldn't get any of his draw-filling cards to fall on the later streets. He got his short stack in with {9-Spades}{5-Spades} against {a-Clubs}{9-Clubs}. Awada had plenty of options on a flop of {j-Hearts}{7-Spades}{8-Spades}, but it was his opponent who improved on both streets with the {a-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}. Awada's sole pair of nines was no good against his opponents two pair, aces and nines. Awada is out.
