Marco Traniello Eliminated in 23rd Place; Binh Nguyen in 22nd ($20,129 each)

Binh Nguyen - 22nd place
Binh Nguyen - 22nd place

Tommy Vinas raised to 25,000 under the gun and was met with a reraise to 90,000 by Marco Traniello in the hijack. When the flop came down {2-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}, Vinas check-called Traniello's all-in bet of 150,000.

Traniello: {A-Spades}{A-Diamonds}
Vinas: {Q-Spades}{Q-Clubs}

Traniello held pocket rockets but it was no good against the flopped set of Vinas. The {3-Diamonds} turn and {4-Clubs} river provided no help to Traniello and he became our 23rd-place finisher.

At the same time, Binh Nguyen was eliminated from a neighboring table in 22nd place for $20,129.
