SO SICK! Kings vs. Kings Cooler Busts Sam Abernathy from the WSOP Main Event
Level 11 of the 2022 World Series of Poker Main Event was unkind to 888poker ambassador Sam Abernathy, who lost a brutal bad beat to exit poker's world championship event.
During the first level of Day 3, with around 110,000 in chips and the blinds at 1,000/2,500, Abernathy picked up and was poised to earn a valuable double-up, perhaps putting her in position to make a run at the money, and then potentially deeper as the tournament progressed. But her opponent, Mike Gao, also had , so a chop pot seemed inevitable.
Erickson Quadruples Up
Limit Omaha 8 or Better
Men Nguyen bet from under the gun and Erickson called to go all in for 220,000 from middle position. Barny Boatman in the small blind and Scott Abrams in the big blind also called.
The three players still with cards and a stack in front of them checked until the river where the board read . Nguyen bet and Boatman made the fold. Abrams pondered for a while before eventually folding.
Mark Erickson:
Men Nguyen:
Erickson turned over his cards hoping to get half the pot with the nut low. But to his amazement, his pocket queens were good enough to take the high pot leaving Erickson flabbergasted that he quadrupled up. "Put that in the record books!" yelled Erickson.

Men Nguyen Eliminated in 5th Place ($41,377)
Big O
Men Nguyen has been eliminated from the tournament in stunning fashion following a massive 1-2 combo punch from Scott Abrams and Peter Neff.
First, Abrams raised pot to 240,000 in the small blind and was called by Nguyen in the big blind.
Abrams then check-called a bet of 400,000 from Nguyen on the flop.
On the turn, Abrams checked again, then after a pot-sized bet of 1,360,000 from Nguyen, Abrams moved all in, with Nguyen holding a bit over 1,700,000 behind.
Nguyen frustratedly folded to preserve his stack.
On the very next hand however, Nguyen raised the pot (240,000) from the small blind and was called by Neff in the big blind.
Nguyen quickly potted the flop and Neff then moved all in for the rest of Nguyen's stack. The seven-time bracelet winner called and was shockingly at risk.
Men Nguyen:
Peter Neff:
After the dealer dropped the on the river, Nguyen's two pair of aces and nines were second best to Neff's aces and jacks, and in two fell swoops, Nguyen went from four million chips to zero and was headed to the payout window.

The players all checked the flop, but on the turn, Boatman moved all in for his last 1,850,000. Abrams quickly folded, but Neff had a decision.
After a couple of minutes of deliberation, he called to risk a huge portion of the stack he'd just won by eliminating Men Nguyen.
Barny Boatman:
Peter Neff:
Boatman's two pair of kings and queens were the best made hand, but Neff had a massive wrap, flush, and low draws.
The river however, brought the , bringing Neff none of his world of outs and sending the monstrous pot to Boatman, while suddenly putting Neff on the shortest stack of the final four players.
