Nguyen Cracks Queens; Garberg's Runbad Continues

Level 25 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Quoc Dinh Nguyen
Quoc Dinh Nguyen

Alexander Puchalski raised to 80,000 and then folded when Quoc Dinh Nguyen jammed for 610,000 on the button and Markus Garberg went over the top in the small blind.

Quoc Dinh Nguyen: {a-Diamonds}{q-Spades}
Markus Garberg: {q-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}

"Did you fold a pair, Alex?" Nguyen asked and Puchalski nodded with a "sevens".

The {9-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} flop gave Nguyen the superior flush draw and he paced away from the table. On the {8-Diamonds} turn, Nguyen locked up the double and the {9-Clubs} became a formality. Puchalski would have made a full house and Garberg was left as the shortest stack all of a sudden.

Markus Garberg Eliminated in 7th Place ($16,137)

Level 25 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Markus Garberg
Markus Garberg

Markus Garberg pushed all-in for the last 330,000 and it folded to Renniel Galvez on the button, who flat-called.

Markus Garberg: {7-Hearts}{7-Clubs}
Renniel Galvez: {a-Clubs}{9-Clubs}

"Your lucky hand?" Akshay Kapoor asked as the very same hand had given Galvez a double with quads via running nines.

The {j-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} flop kept Garberg in the lead but Galvez went runner-runner once more with the {6-Clubs} turn and {8-Clubs} river, ending an atrocious run of fortune for Garberg in seventh place for a payday of $16,137.

Chris Backhouse

Nevan Chang min-raised before the blinds went up and folded when Akshay Kapoor made it 320,000 to go in the small blind.

Quoc Dinh Nguyen then opened to 100,000 from under the gun and table short stack Chris Backhouse forfeited the big blind and big blind ante.

The very next hand, Renniel Galvez raised to 100,000 in the cutoff and Backhouse jammed the last 450,000 in the small blind. Galvez asked for a count and then sigh-called after some 20 seconds.

Chris Backhouse: {k-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}
Renniel Galvez: {a-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}

The {k-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{3-Spades}{9-Spades} board delivered the double up for the Englishman, who jumped back to 20 blinds.

Galvez Snap-Jams Into Kapoor

Level 26 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Akshay Kapoor raised to 100,000 from under the gun and Nevan Chang defended the big blind to a flop of {k-Clubs}{9-Spades}{3-Hearts}. Chang checked and Kapoor's bet worth 100,000 won the pot.

One hand later, Renniel Galvez opened to 100,000 from under the gun and Quoc Dinh Nguyen called on the button. Kapoor three-bet to 450,000 in the big blind and Galvez instantly pushed all-in. Nguyen folded quickly and so did Kapoor, who then started some table chat with Nguyen in which the latter mentioned he had ace-king of diamonds.

Level 26 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Renniel Galvez raised to 100,000 in the cutoff and Quoc Dinh Nguyen defended the big blind. They checked down the entire board of {j-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}{7-Clubs} and Nguyen won the pot with the {10-Spades}{9-Diamonds}.

Akshay Kapoor raised to 100,000 in the cutoff and Alexander Puchalski called out of the small blind. Chris Backhouse then jammed for 700,000 in the big blind and Kapoor got out of the way while Puchalski came along with the covering stack.

Chris Backhouse: {k-Clubs}{q-Clubs}
Alexander Puchalski: {5-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}

"King queen is a good hand," Backhouse said in the table chat and it was indeed a fair fight. However, the {10-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{3-Spades}{10-Spades} board delivered no help to the Englishman and Backhouse had to settle for sixth place and $21,681.
