Nebojsa Janjic Ousted by Bryan Huang

Nebojsa Janjic was eliminated from the tournament just before the last break -- the end result of a three-way pot versus Tino Lechich and Bryan Huang.

Preflop, Huang raised to 12,000 and was called by both Lechich (cutoff) and Janjic (big blind). The flop came down {J-Diamonds} {9-Spades} {4-Hearts} and Janjic open-shoved all in for his last 15,000. Both Lechich and Huang made the call.

The turn card was the {8-Diamonds} and Huang and Lechich both checked, opting to see the river for free: {9-Diamonds}. Huang fired a 15,000 bet on the end and was snap-called by Lechich, setting up a three-hand showdown:

Showdown:
Huang: {4-Spades} {4-Diamonds}
Janjic: {J-Hearts} (X)
Lechich: Muck

OK, so it wasn't much of a showdown, as Lechich mucked upon seeing Huang's full house, and Janjic only showed one card before returning his hand to the dealer and exiting the tournament area.

Afterward, we counted Lechich at 120,000 in chips and Huang at 162,000.
