Mathew Rego Eliminated in 12th Place ($9,988)
Level 28
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 0 ante
James Chen opened the action with a raise. To his left, Mathew Rego shoved all in for a little more and everyone folded to Chen, who called.
Mathew Rego: K?K?Q?4?
James Chen J?J?7?7?
The K?9?4? flop all but secured it for Rego, although the 8? on the turn brought a minor sweat with the gutshot.
The dealer burned and turned the 10? on the river to complete the backdoor straight for Chen and send Rego packing.
"Oh my God!" Jamie Kerstetter and Matthew Aronowitz blurted out.
