Gabriellson Flushes Varsi

Hans Varsi is not a happy boy right now. He's just been busted from the tournament by the giant-killing Ferit Gabriellson.

The action started with Nathan Doudney who limped in from middle position. Gabriellson completed in the small blind and Varsi checked in the big blind.

The flop fell {4-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} and Gabriellson checked to Varsi who tossed out 15,000. Doudney folded and Gabriellson called.

The turn was where things got interesting as Gabriellson led out with a bet of 40,000 when then {6-Diamonds} fell. Varsi announced "pot" and added another 140,000 to the middle, leaving himself just 20,000 behind.

Gabriellson thought for a few minutes before announcing he was all in. Varsi quickly called.

Gabriellson: {3-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{7-Clubs}
Varsi: {3-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}{7-Hearts}

Varsi tabled the straight with a baby diamond flush draw, while Gabriellson held top pair, a small heart flush draw and a double gutshot straight draw.

With just one card to come, the {Q-Hearts} landed like a dagger through the heart for Varsi, completing the flush for Gabriellson and eliminating Varsi from the tournament.

Gabriellson is up to a massive 915,000 chips and a clear chip lead.
