Level 18 : 15,000/30,000, 0 ante

Andy Nguyen

Andy Nguyen was eliminated in sixth place after losing the majority of his stack in one hand and the rest on the hand directly after.

In the first hand, Andy Nguyen opened to 65,000 from the hijack and was called by Roy Kim on the button and Anthony Luong in the big blind.

The flop came {8-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} and it was checked to Nguyen, who bet 205,000. Kim then raised to 825,000. Luong folded and Nguyen called.

Both players checked on the {9-Spades} turn; however, Nguyen bet enough to put Kim all in on the {6-Clubs} river. Kim called and Nguyen tabled {a-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} for a straight. It was no good against the {q-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{6-Spades}{4-Spades}{4-Diamonds} of Kim for a full house and Nguyen was left with crumbs after the hand.

On the very next hand, Nguyen went all in for his last 30,000 under-the-gun and every player called.

Everyone checked on the {j-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{3-Spades} flop.

The {10-Spades} came on the turn and Bob Fitzgerald bet 180,000 from the small blind and Manuel Herrera called from the cutoff.

The {j-Diamonds} completed the board and Fitzgerald checked to Herrera, who bet enough to put Fitzgerald all in for his last 180,000. Fitzgerald folded and Herrera revealed the {a-Diamonds}{j-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{7-Clubs} for jacks-full of tens. Nguyen held the {k-Clubs}{q-Spades}{j-Hearts}{8-Spades}{2-Hearts} for a straight, which was no good and he was eliminated.
