Luis Nargentino Eliminated in 29th Place ($253,941)

Luis Nargentino - eliminated

We're one player away from finishing for the day after a recent hand on Blue #2. Ben Lamb opened for 265,000 from middle position and was called by Luis Nargentino and big blind Phil Ivey. Ivey checked to the raiser on a flop of {J-Spades} {7-Spades} {9-Hearts}. Lamb obliged with a bet of 480,000. Nargentino considered his options before moving in for 1.625 million total. Ivey quickly folded and Lamb quickly called.

Lamb: {A-Diamonds} {J-Clubs}
Nargentino: {A-Spades} {5-Spades}

Nargentino had the nut flush draw and must have been dismayed to see Lamb turn up top pair, top kicker, killing Nargentino's outs to an ace. The turn and river were black cards but both were clubs -- {6-Clubs} and {4-Clubs}. Lamb had Nargentino covered and as a result Nargentino is out of the tournament.

Lamb moves to about 8 million in chips.
