Derek McMaster Eliminated in 14th Place ($4,947)
Level 27
: 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante
Cuong Van Nguyen has been on a heater as of later. Most recently, he was responsible for the elimination of Day 1b chip leader Derek McMaster.
It happened when Nguyen raised to 135,000 from the hijack and then called McMaster's shove of roughly 400,000 from the big blind.
Nguyen: 
McMaster: 
McMaster was in trouble, but the 
flop gave him a bunch of spade outs. The 
turn gave him a chop opportunity, but none of his cards came as the 
paired the board on the river.
