Javed Abrahams is a well-respected English player with several deep finishes in many tournaments, most recently at the EPT in Tallinn. Joe Serock though, has just managed to push him off a hand when it was check to Abrahams on the river of a board.
Abrahams bet 2,600 on the end only for Serock to check-raise to 10,000 total, Abrahams affected a look of concern but silently folded, handing his opponent the pot.
A quick scour around the room revealed that Brit Eli Heath is the current chip leader with a a stack that's at least double his age. He currently leads the pack with 45,000.

I didn't catch the exit, but John Juanda standing from his chair, walking away from the table, and leaving no chips on the felt immediately before him signifying that he was possibly out.
That is what all of Toby Lewis' mates call him. After having quad queens against Andrew Robl's quad nines in a recent TV tournament, Lewis is at it again with the quad queens, though this time none were in his hand.
"I run so good," he laughed, explaining how he had flipped with against after Chris Moorman had folded an ace. "The flop came and then another on the turn, so I called for the on the river and it came!"
The EPT Vilamoura champion has about 11,000.
