James Carroll Eliminated by Gabriel Abusada
Jun 18, 2021
WPT Champions Club member James Carroll (pictured above) raises to 3,500 from under the gun, Ken Fishman calls from the cutoff, Gregory Wilson calls from the small blind and Gabriel Abusada three-bets to 11,500 from the big blind. Everyone calls.
The flop is 
and Wilson checks to Abusada who continues for about 70,000. Carroll raises all in for 142,000, Fishman folds, Wilson folds and Abusada goes into the tank.
“I can’t believe this,” says Abusada. “I can’t believe this. How much is it?”
The dealer confirms that it’s 72,000 more for Abusada to call.
“I can’t believe this,” repeats Abusada before he calls after about 90 seconds total.
Carroll shows 
for a set of fives.
Abusada breathes a deep sigh and says, “No good,” as he shows 
for a set of eights.
The 
turn and 
river complete the board, safe for Abusada to score the elimination.
“Yes, baby!” shouts Abusada as the river falls.
Gabriel Abusada – 365,000 (243 bb)
James Carroll – Eliminated
