Urbanic Falls to His Knees in Frustration

Level 32 : Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante

On a flop reading 2?2?7?, James Urbanic shoved on Peter Thai, putting him at risk. Thai tried to get a read on Urbanic and was unable to coax any words from him. Thai made the call after spending some time trying to put Urbanic on a hand.

Thai: 8?8?
Urbanic: J?J?

Urbanic let his rail know he was a favorite and they erupted with cheers. The turn was the 3? and it seemed Urbanic would be eliminating a player and moving comfortably into the chiplead until the 8? slammed the river, causing Thai to erupt in celebration as he did a lap around the table. Meantime, Urbanic collapsed to his knees, holding his head.

After a moment Urbanic regained composure, paid the pot what it was due, and congratulated his opponent on a nice hand. This is the second time this final table that Urbanic got two-out on the river when he had a player at risk. Applauses from Urbanic's rail urged him to rally, as the dream of winning gold is still alive.

Thai now has a commanding chip lead.
