Einiger Busted by Abramov's Aces

Borgata Winter Poker Open Championship 

Play resumed following dinner and they wasted no time getting back into the action.

On a flop of 8 7 2 with two clubs, Scott Einiger got all-in against big stacker Or Abramov.  Or tabled two red Aces and Scott tabled AJ of spades.  "I thought I had spades!" Scott says.  "You do have spades" someone at the table said.  Scott thought he had flopped the nut flush draw, but the flop was one spade and two clubs.

The last two came 3 7 (with no more spades) and Scott walked away, visibly upset with himself over the mis-read.  He will still get paid, however.

With that pot Or Abramov is up to 1.4 and has overtaken Roz Quarto for the chip lead.
