[user153638]

Nível 16 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

Luke Downes watches helplessly as the board fails to save him.

Despite doubling the hand before, Luke Downes has finished as the 2014 Aussie Millions bubble boy.

It happened when action folded to him on the button and he shoved for 23,000. The small blind folded, but Perth's Patrick Healy opted to look him up from the big.

Healy:
Downes:

Downes was behind, but he was drawing to two live cards. He actually found a pair on the flop, but as you can see Healy did too. The turn put out straight possibilities, but it wasn't in the cards for Downes as the blanked on the river.

A disappointed Downes made his way to the exit empty handed while the rest of the players erupted in applause in celebration of their guaranteed AUD$15,000 payday.

No Help for Team Online's Randy Lew

[user153638]

Nível 16 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

Lew gave the table a nod, gathered his things, and then made his way toward the exit.
