Zaki Gets Hooked

HillKerby

Level 19 : 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Luan Nguyen opened the action with a raise to 30,000 in middle position and saw Justin Zaki three-bet to 89,000 in the hijack. Action folded back to Nguyen and he called.

The flop fell and Nguyen led out, betting 140,000. Zaki went into the tank for several minutes, considering his options before shoving for around 300,000. Nguyen immediately called and covered Zaki to put him at risk.

Justin Zaki:
Luan Nguyen:

Nguyen had flopped a set and got Zaki to commit it all. Zaki was unable to connect as the turn and the river completed the runout to give Nguyen a full house and earn him the pot. Stacks were briefly compared to confirm that Zaki's entire stack was to go in the direction of Luan, and Zaki was eliminated from the tournament.

Player	Chips	Progress
Luan Nguyen	910,000	475,000
Justin Zaki	Busted

Snow Dusted In Brutal Fashion

HillKerby

Level 19 : 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Fililpp Khavin opened to 25,000 in the hijack and received calls from both Matt Mauldin on the button and Ryan Snow in the small blind. Action went three ways to the flop , where action checked to Mauldin and he bet 65,000. Snow check-jammed for 143,000, Khavin folded, and Mauldin called.

Ryan Snow:
Matt Mauldin:

"What a flop," said somebody at the table. Even with a commanding lead, Snow was unable to fade running , which improved Mauldin to a straight and sent Snow to the payout desk.

After winning the pot, Mauldin has now chipped up to over 1.1 million and looks to be the chip leader with 30 players left in the tournament.
