Short-Stacked Truong Can't Win Flip

Level 28 : 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Phong Truong
Phong Truong

Alexander Charron raised to 200,000 in middle position and Andy Truong put his short-stack of 100,000 across the line in the small blind.

Andy Truong: {2-Clubs}{2-Spades}
Alexander Charron: {a-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}

It was a coin flip but the {a-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{4-Spades} flop left Truong trailing behind. The {k-Spades} turn and {q-Spades} river were no help for Truong as he left the table.

Nguyen Keeps Finding Premiums

Level 28 : 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Phong Than Nguyen
Phong Than Nguyen

Stephane Genet shoved from the button and Phong Nguyen called out of the small blind. The big blind folded and Genet was officially at risk.

Stephane Genet: {a-Clubs}{j-Hearts}
Phong Nguyen: {a-Spades}{k-Diamonds}

Nguyen had found yet another premium hand and was in a good spot to send one more opponent to the rail. The {2-Spades}{6-Spades}{3-Hearts} flop kept Nguyen ahead as did the {7-Diamonds} turn. No help came for Genet on the {k-} river, ending his deep run. Nguyen, meanwhile, appears to have captured the tournament chiplead.

Daynard Flops Top Pair

Level 28 : 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Sebastien Guidez raised to 255,000 in the cutoff and Connor Daynard defended his big blind.

The dealer fanned a flop of {k-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} and both players checked to the {10-Spades} turn.

Daynard check-called a bet of 225,000 from Guidez and the {5-Clubs} river was checked by both players. Daynard tabled {k-Hearts}{8-Clubs} for top pair on the flop and Guidez mucked his hand.

Luong Flops Big to Send Nahama Home

Level 27 : 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Mark Nahama shoved his last 90,000 into the middle from late position and action folded to David Luong in the big blind, who promptly tossed in the 10,000 necessary to make the call, saying "I've got four high but I've gotta try".

Mark Nahama: {k-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}
David Luong: {4-Clubs}{3-Clubs}

Luong did in fact have just four high but both of his cards were live. The {4-Spades}{3-Clubs}{5-Diamonds} flop saw him pair not one but both of his hole cards with the {q-Diamonds} turn leaving Nahama drawing dead to the meaningless {q-Spades} river.

Iorio's Jacks Hold to Bust Lee

Level 27 : 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Luke Iorio raised to 160,000 in the hijack and Jongwook Lee jammed for about 880,000 in the cutoff. The button and blinds folded quickly and Iorio instantly dropped a chip to make the call.

Jongwook Lee: {k-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}
Luke Iorio: {j-Diamonds}{j-Spades}

Iorio was in great shape as Lee only had one overcard and the board ran out {6-Spades}{6-Clubs}{5-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} for his pocket jacks to hold.

Forca Got by Gottlieb

Level 27 : 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Scott Gottlieb shoved from under the gun and received a single call from Michael Forca on the button.

Michael Forca: {a-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}
Scott Gottlieb: {a-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}

Forca was the at risk player and dominated by Gottlieb. The {q-Clubs}{10-Spades}{6-Clubs} flop, while pairing up Gottlieb, did give Forca a gutshot. The {3-Clubs} turn changed nothing as neither player held a club and the {9-Diamonds} river completed the board to send Forca to the rail while Gottlieb passes the 1,000,000 mark.

Prager's Kicker Eliminates Schneider

Level 27 : 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Josh Prager raised to 175,000 in the hijack and Peter Schneider jammed for 505,000 on the button. The action folded back around to Prager and he made the call.

Peter Schneider: {a-Spades}{8-Diamonds}
Josh Prager: {a-Diamonds}{j-Spades}

Prager had Schneider dominated and the {9-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{4-Spades}{9-Hearts}{a-Hearts} run out gave both players aces and nines but Prager's jack-kicker played to eliminate Schneider.
