Abrams had 3/4 of the chips in play at the dinner break, but ran into some bad luck later in the evening.
One pivotal hand came when Abrams flopped top pair, top kicker with AJ, but Liu flopped the joint with Q 10. The flopped straight gave Liu the much needed double-up and the stacks were virtually even after the hand.
"I played well, I can't complain," says Abrams, "I just couldn't finish it at the end."
