Nguyen Makes the Nuts to Bust One

Level 19 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
Jayphong Nguyen
Jayphong Nguyen

A player in the hijack was all in for around 250,000 and up against Jayphong Nguyen in the big blind.

All-In Player: A?Q? All in
Jayphong Nguyen: A?K?

Any hope the all-in player had of staying alive in the tournament disappeared on the 3?4?10? flop as Nguyen hit the nut flush. The rest of the J?5? board was a mere formality as Nguyen scored the knockout.

Vazquez Spikes the River to Take a Massive Pot and the Chip Lead

Level 19 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
Luis Vazquez
Luis Vazquez

Luis Vazquez just eliminated another player after a massive pot that catapulted him to the top of the chip counts, and the table filled in the details.

A player raised in early position and Vazquez called in middle position, as did the small blind. The flop came K?10?8? and Vazquez bet 35,000. The small blind raised to 120,000, Vazquez reraised to 260,000, and the small blind called.

The turn was the Q?, and Vazquez bet another 340,000. His opponent tanked for several minutes, and Vazquez called the clock. The small blind eventually moved all in for around 1,000,000, and Vazquez called with 9?7? for straight and flush draws.

His opponent had K?10? for two pair and his own flush draw, but the river was the A? as Vazquez completed his draw to win the pot and climb past 4,000,000.

Suvarna Out-Kicked by Hamilton

Level 19 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
Santhosh Suvarna
Santhosh Suvarna

The action commenced with a raise to 35,000 and Joe Hamilton called from the very next seat. Santhosh Suvarna then three-bet jammed for his last 65,000 in the small blind and the initial raiser called. Hamilton reraised to 200,000 and isolated successfully.

Santhosh Suvarna: A?10? All in
Joe Hamilton: A?J?

Suvarna was pipped by a notch but gained some equity until the K?9?5?4? turn with his flush draw. However, the 4? river brought no help and the kicker played for Hamilton.

In a heads-up pot between the button and Phil Ivey in the big blind, Ivey led out on the flop of 6?4?6?, and the button called. Ivey then checked on the Q? turn and the button checked back.

Danielle Andersen
Danielle Andersen

Danielle Andersen raised to 35,000 on the button and Tyler Montoya defended in the big blind.

The flop came 8?5?6? and action went check-check bringing the 8? turn.

Montoya led out for 45,000, Andersen raised to 100,000, and Montoya called.

The river brought the 4? and Montoya checked. Andersen then moved all in, covering the the stack of Montoya, who had about 225,000 behind.

Montoya went deep into the tank, staring Andersen down and mentioning "I wish I had a spade," before eventually tossing his cards into the muck.

Lehr Eliminated in Three-Way All-In

Level 19 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
Keith Lehr
Keith Lehr

A short-stacked Eiji Suzuki was all-in with the A?4? and had the worst of it when he was up against Steven Ayoub with the K?K? and the 6?6? of Keith Lehr.

The 10?5?2? flop gave Suzuki a gutshot, which he hit with the 3? turn. After the 7? river, the Japanese jumped out of his seat in celebration. He tripled up his severe short stack, while Ayoub won the larger side pot to eliminate Lehr.

Stout Soaring After Double Knockout

Level 19 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
Matthew Stout
Matthew Stout

Egill Porsteinsson moved all in from under the gun for 265,000 and was called by Robert Wilke in middle position. Matt Stout then raised to 535,000 in the cutoff. The button and blinds folded to send the action back to Wilke who, somewhat unwillingly, called off for less.

Egill Porsteinsson: 9?9? All in
Robert Wilke: 10?10? All in
Matt Stout: A?A?

Stout had woken up with a monster at just the right moment to put himself in a commanding position to score the double knockout. The aces were still best after the 8?5?3?4?6? runout to hand Stout a massive pot while condemning Porsteinsson and Wilke to a trip to the payout desk.

Kenny's Aces Hold On to Double

Level 19 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
Jeffrey Kenny
Jeffrey Kenny

Jeffrey Kenny got his stack of 765,000 in the middle before the flop from under the gun as an opponent on the button put him at risk.

Jeffrey Kenny: A?A? All in
Opponent: Q?Q?

Kenny was far ahead with his aces and poised for a double up as the flop came 6?10?9?. The J? turn gave his opponent some hope with a straight draw, but Kenny held on through the 5? river to double up.

"Yes. Always a sweat," he yelled out before taking in the pot.

Jose Aguilera, last year's 10th-place Main Event finisher, is also at this table.

"Who's Next"; Vazquez Gets Back-to-Back Bustouts

Level 19 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
Luis Vazquez
Luis Vazquez

Luis Vazquez had just busted Ari Engel when he got involved in another big pot shortly afterward.

Around 200,000 was already in the middle on a board of K?7?9?10? when Vazquez bet 115,000 from the big blind. An under-the-gun player raised to 230,000 and Vazquez instantly reraised to 515,000.

His opponent tanked for several minutes before calling for around 300,000 more and turning over A?K? for top pair. Vazquez, though, had 7?7? for a set and the at-risk player was already drawing dead before the 6? fell on the river.

"I'll have what he's having," a tablemate said as Vazquez raked in the pot.

"Alright, who's next," Vazquez joked.
