Manh Nguyen
Manh Nguyen

Manh Nguyen opened to 500 from under the gun, and the action folded to Miguel Borrero who three-bet on the button. Nguyen called, and the flop fell {4-Spades}{q-Spades}{7-Diamonds}. Both players checked.

The turn was the {8-Spades}, and Nguyen checked again. Borrero fired 2,000, and Nguyen called. The {4-Diamonds} completed the board, and Nguyen moved all in for 8,850. Borrero tank-folded, showing two black jacks. Nguyen mucked his hand, and raked in the pot.

Leah Eliminated

Level 9 : 400/800, 100 ante
Mike Leah fired two bullets and both missed the mark.
Mike Leah fired two bullets and both missed the mark.

We caught Mike Leah's bustout hand, he was crippled from a previous hand and stuck it in holding {Q-Spades} {10-Clubs}. He was called by an opponent holding {Q-Spades} {J-Hearts}. Leah never caught up and was eliminated.

"This hand doesn't matter if you didn't catch the hand before," Leah told Pokernews. He was in the big blind and had seven limpers enter the pot in front of him. He looked down to find {A-} {K-} and raised, only to have a limper re-raise him. Leah put in another raise to 5,300 and he got a call. The flop came {A-} {10-} {3-} and his opponent called his shove holding pocket tens for a flopped set.

The original raiser folded, and the player in the middle raised to 4,600.

Musumeci moved all in for 15,600, and her opponent folded two queens face up.
