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."
