Mingmin Wu Takes Out Two

Level 16 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

We arrived at the table just as Jamal Nagi and Mingmin Wu committed their stacks on a {7-Spades}{k-Diamonds}{a-Clubs} flop.

Gideon Max was already all in after moving all in pre flop and Nagi was also at risk with less chips then Wu.

Max: {4-Hearts}{4-Clubs}
Wu: {a-Spades}{q-Hearts}
Nagi: {a-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}

"Yes!" rejoiced Nagi, as the board ran out the {10-Clubs} and {j-Clubs}.

Nagi had thought he'd won the hand when the jack dropped on the river only to be informed from everyone else that it indeed gave Wu a straight and the winning hand.

Liam O'Rourke and Chia-Chang Ku Fall

Level 16 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

We arrived at the table to find Liam O'Rourke at risk holding {a-Hearts}{8-Clubs} against Manny Stavropoulos' {7-Spades}{7-Hearts}.

The board ran out {k-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{2-Spades} and O'Rourke was sent to the rail.

A couple of hands later Stavropoulos was at it again.

This time Chia-Chang Ku was at risk against the reigning Aussie Millions champion. Ku was in front holding {9-Hearts}{9-Diamonds} against {k-Clubs}{q-Hearts} until the board ran out {3-Clubs}{q-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} to see Stavropoulos spike a queen on the flop to take down the pot.

Ali Ghezelbash Eliminated by Josh Spooner

Level 16 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

Josh Spooner raised to 12,000 from under the gun before Ali Ghezelbash moved all in for his remaining 17,500 from the button. Both [Removed:415] and Peter Matusik called from the blind before the four players watched the flop come down {a-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{6-Clubs}.

A round of checks followed before the {a-Hearts} fell on the turn. The blinds checked over to Spooner who tossed out 17,000 in chips which was enough to force Doria and Matusik out.

Spooner: {j-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}
Ghezelbash: {j-Spades}{q-Clubs}

The {8-Clubs} on the river would be no help for Ghezelbash as he was sent to the rail.
