Balkin Bounces Abueid

Sam Abueid was just all in and at risk with {A-Clubs}{Q-Clubs} against the {A-Diamonds}{A-Spades} of David Balkin. As they both stood and awaited the community cards, both had ideas about what kinds of cards they'd like to see.

"Red rags please," said Balkin, hoping there'd be no straights or flushes to save Abueid. "Let's see some paint," asked Abueid with a grin.

The board ended up satisfying Balkin better, coming {8-Clubs}{K-Spades}{9-Hearts}{3-Spades}{J-Hearts}. His aces held, and Abueid is out.
