Nguyen No Longer on Tilt

Level 17 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

At the start of the level, Robert Nguyen declared himself on tilt before then changing his mind while showing a busted straight draw for another successful bluff. "Seat one not on tilt anymore," Nguyen joked. Then, Asj Taylor raised from the hijack and Nguyen called in the small blind.

On the flop {8-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{3-Hearts}, Nguyen check-called a bet of 12,500 and did so again on the {A-Clubs} turn for 24,000. The {2-Diamonds} came on the river and Nguyen immediately shoved all in. Taylor asked for a count and it was 93,500 to call. After plenty of consideration, Taylor called and Nguyen announced "nuts" before turning over the {5-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}. Taylor mucked and lost more than half of his stack.

On the {A-Clubs} turn, Taylor moved all in for 130,000 and Nguyen had about as much behind to eventually let go.

Gupta Busts Pham

Level 16 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

Huy Pham open shoved for a little under 70,000 and Piyush Gupta followed suit behind for a little more.

The rest of the table folded and Gupta was ahead in a classic race with the {q-Spades}{q-Clubs} versus Pham's {a-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}.

The dealer fanned out a {5-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{3-Spades}{7-Diamonds} board and Gupta's queens held to send Pham out 18th.

Level 16 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

The second player to bust after the break is Robert Spano. The finalist of the Terminator Event three-bet shoved for 70,000 from the big blind and initial raiser Mogens Hansen called after having raised to 17,000.

Spano. {A-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}
Hansen: {Q-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}

The board ran out {6-Spades}{3-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{2-Spades}{J-Spades} and Spano had already left his chair before the final community card, then headed to the payout desk.
