Nakano KO'd By Schlein
Stud-8:
We caught the action on fifth street with Yosh Nakano already all in and Josh Schlein contesting the side pot against Trai Dang.
Nakano: (X)(X) -
Schlein: (X)(X) -
Dang: (X)(X) -
On fifth street Schlein bet 12,000 and Dang made the call. The action repeated itself on sixth street, with Schlien betting and Dang calling. After squeezing their down cards on seventh street, Schlein fired another 12,000 bet and Dang mucked his cards.
Schlein tabled his down cards for a full house and Nakano could not produce a superior holding, eliminating him from the tournament. Dang was left with only 25,000 or so in chips and busted out just a few hands later, while Schlein built his stack to over 245,000 in one of our first hands after returning from break.
