Balaban Takes a Hit

[user92162]

Tim Balaban's hopes of claiming this year's Aussie Millions have taken a bit of a hit after he folded a pot to Martin Comer.

Each player contributed 5,000 to the pot on the turn, and at the river the board read {7-Spades}

. Balaban obviously didn't like the river, and checked to Comer, who bet out 12,000 chips, enough to set his opponent all in.

Balaban proceeded to open-muck {10-Diamonds}

for two pair, on a board that had significant set, straight and flush possibilities. He's now down to 8,200, while Comer would have to be happy with his start, up to 34,500.
