Men Nguyen Eliminated in 27th Place ($17,580)

Level 38 : Blinds 600,000/1,200,000, 1,200,000 ante
Men Nguyen
Men Nguyen

On the first hand of the three-table redraw, Matt Glantz was sat to the left of Men Nguyen. Before the cards were pitched, Glantz took the time to inform the table of Nguyen's controversial past and prior allegations before play was to recommence.

The action restarted and Nguyen moved all in for 6,900,000 from middle position. Lisa Tan three-bet jammed from the cutoff, putting Nguyen at risk.

Men Nguyen: K?J? All in
Lisa Tan: A?K?

At the sight of the A?6?3? flop, the whole table erupted in cheer. The 5? turn and 6? rivered confirmed Nguyen's departure.

A round of applause followed from all the remaining players in the room, with a standing ovation started by Glantz.

Brown Doubles Up Against Ievchenko

Level 38 : Blinds 600,000/1,200,000, 1,200,000 ante

With a substantial pot already developed and the flop revealing 9?JxQ?, Trevor Brown made a decisive move by going all in, which Oleksii Ievchenko promptly called.

Trevor Brown: 9?9?
Oleksii Ievchenko: Q?J?

Brown showed two pairs against the flop, leaving Ievchenko needing assistance from the turn and river cards. However, the dealer revealed A? and 10?, failing to improve Ievchenko's hand, thereby allowing Brown to double up.

Welch Is Going Back and Forth

Level 38 : Blinds 600,000/1,200,000, 1,200,000 ante

Joshua Welch, seated at the button, opened the action with a raise to 2,600,000, which was called by Andy Chen.

On the flop 6?K?8?, both players opted to check.

Welch took the initiative on the turn 5?, betting 3,500,000, which Chen check-called.

No further action occurred on the river 7?, leading to a showdown. Welch revealed A?7? for a pair of sevens, while Chen showed A?8?, increasing his stack as Welch's stack dwindled to 8,500,000.

In the very next hand, Martin Alcaide started things off from middle position with a raise to 2,500,000. Welch, now in the cutoff, responded by going all in.

Joshua Welch: K?J?All in
Martin Alcaide: K?K?

Welch was in need of help from the board. The flop delivered 10?10?5?, prompting Welch to rise from his seat, anticipating defeat. However, hope returned on the turn A?, providing a flush draw. The table erupted in cheers as the river 4? completed Welch's flush, resulting in a crucial double-up.

Oregel Spikes Set on Nguyen

Level 38 : Blinds 600,000/1,200,000, 1,200,000 ante

On a heads-up flop of 3?2?8?, Jacob Oregel and Men Nguyen got it all into the middle, with Oregel at risk.

Jacob Oregel: J?J?All in
Men Nguyen: Q?Q?

"Agh, nice hand," Oregel sighed, "I had a good run." But his sighs quickly turned to shouts of joy when the J? spiked down on the turn to give him the lead.

Nguyen threw up his hands and began shaking his ahead as the river fell the 8? and the big pot was shipped over to Oregel.

Nguyen was left very short and was forced all in from the big blind then very next hand but managed to find a triple and is now at around 6,000,000.

Slyvinskyi Doubles Stinson

Level 38 : Blinds 600,000/1,200,000, 1,200,000 ante
Bohdan Slyvinskyi
Bohdan Slyvinskyi

Thomas Stinson moved all in for 8,500,000 from the cutoff and Bohdan Slyvinskyi made the call, from the button.

Thomas Stinson: K?10? All in
Bohdan Slyvinskyi: A?10?

Stinson was in bad shape and the 2?7?J?9? runout made his departure likely, however, the K? river put him out in front to double up.

Stinson erupted out of his chair in celebration. "Give me all that money back" he shouted to the room, presumably referring to the pair's earlier confrontation.
