Joe Awada Has Been Eliminated

Joe Awada
Joe Awada opened with a standard raise from the button. The big blind reraised an additional 7,000. Awada made the call and the flop came {A-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}. The big blind led out for 10,000 and Awada pondered for a while. Finally Awada said "Oh well . . . it's getting late and I hate to play this late" and raised all in for 24,700 more. The big blind called and "Gentle" Joe showed {9-Clubs}{9-Hearts} which was in bad shape against the big blind's {A-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}. The turn and river missed Awada completely and he was eliminated.
