Matt Affleck Straightens Out to Eliminate Steven Tabb

Level 14 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante

Babak Badkoubei raised to 6,000 from the hijack and Matt Affleck called from the cutoff. Steven Tabb was in the big blind and moved all in for 46,800. Badkoubei thought for about a minute but eventually folded. Affleck asked for a count and decided to call.

Tabb was at risk and ahead with {a-}{q-}, up against Affleck's {a-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}.

The flop came {10-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{8-Diamonds} and Affleck flopped a monster draw with outs to make a flush or a straight. The turn was the {7-Spades} to complete his straight, and the river was the {q-Clubs} to send Tabb to the rail.

Here is a look at the counts for the rest of the players on Table 726:
