1F: Abdul Fills Up, Vallieres Ships Out
On a heads-up flop of 7♣9♥5♠, Benoit Vallieres checked to Mike Abdul, who bet 30,000. Vallieres then tanked for a good while before he moved all in, which Abdul snap-called to put him at risk.
Vallieres tabled J♥8♥ for a gutshot straight draw and backdoor hearts, but he would need to get there to beat Abdul's Q♦Q♠.
The turn 5♥ gave Vallierres a flush draw and the Q♥ river gave him the flush, but it also gave Abdul a full house to take the pot, eliminating Vallieres.
Abdul - 595,000
Vallieres - 0
