We're down to one table here in Choctaw as Lee Abramson was just eliminated in 11th place by chip leader Jeff Fielder.
It happened when action folded to Abramson on the button and he raised to 110,000. Fielder then three-bet to 240,000 from the small blind, the big got out of the way, and Abramson made the call.
When the flop came down , Fielder bet 200,000, Abramson raised to 450,000, and Fielder moved all in. Abramson, who had about 975,000 back, thought for about 45 seconds before committing his entire stack.
Abramson:
Fielder:
Fielder flopped trips, but Abramson was drawing live with his flush draw. The turn missed Abramson, and the did the same to send him home in 11th place. You may recall that Abramson was involved in a controversial slowroll on Day 1a, though Abramson later cleared up the matter when he told PokerNews:
"I did not intent to slow roll my opponent. I believed there was still action behind as he had shoved many times after previous action and had raised when there was no action. Because of a hand within the hour, where not asking for a chip count was part of the reason action was affected, I asked for the count. Once action was over, I turned over my cards before my opponent. While I play in few WSOP events, I play poker regularly and am very familiar about poker ettiquette. If I was incorrect about the action behind me then I agree my action was improper and wrong. It was not my intention to play anything but honorable poker. I am sorry for the way I handled the call."

| Lee Abramson | 0 | -2,020,000 |

Ilich:
