Hieu Tran Eliminated in 19th Place ($5,299)

Level 30 : 60,000/120,000, 15,000 ante

Hieu Tran

After being down to less than one big blind, Hieu Tran went on a miraculous run that saw him win with {Q-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} against {K-}{K-} when he hit a flush and then doubling again with {2-Hearts}{2-Spades} against Sergei Rylkov's {9-Diamonds}{9-Hearts} when he flopped a set. That pot moved him over the 1.5 million chip mark and he was looking to push that to over three million when he moved all in against Phil Neiman. Neiman made the call with {9-Spades}{9-Clubs}. It was a race as Hieu had {A-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}.

The race was over quick when the {9-Diamonds} flopped along with the {10-Clubs}{7-Spades}. Any hope for another miracle was eliminated when the turn was the {10-Hearts} and Tran finishes in 19th place.

That concludes play for the day. They are re-drawing to two tables and bagging and tagging. We'll have full chip counts in a few moments.
