Gabay Holds for a Double
Level 7
: 300/600, 600 ante
There was around 10,000 in the middle and the dealer was in the process of finishing the runout with the middle-position Haim Gabay all in for his tournament life against Jeremy Ausmus, who was in the cutoff. When all was said and done, the board read 
.
Haim Gabay: 
Jeremy Ausmus: 
Gabay's eights had seen Ausmus flop an open-ended straight flush draw that picked up two more outs after he paired the turn. However, the safe river earned him the double.
"Sixteen (thousand)-four (hundred)," said the dealer after counting Gabay's stack, and Ausmus sent the requisite amount of chips across the table.
