Over at Table 73, Jesse Cohen got his short stack all in preflop with 
and was racing against the 
of Robert Paddock. Cohen seemed content to be in a race situation, but his contentment dwindled when the flop came down 
and gave his opponent a set. Neither the 
turn nor 
river changed a thing, and Cohen was eliminated from the Main Event.
Likewise, James Mordue has been eliminated from Table 73.
Action folded to a short-stacked Huy Nguyen on the button and he moved all in for his last 7,300. Chris Savage, one of our chip leaders here on Day 2, was in the small blind and made the call. David Weinstein was in the big blind and opted to move all in over the top for 13,200 more, and Savage made a reluctant call to put both his opponents at risk.
Showdown
| Nguyen |   |
| Weinstein |   |
| Savage |   |
The 
flop wasn't particularly interesting, but the turn did give Nguyen some hope. Unfortunately for him, it was extinguished when the blanked on the river. Weinstein more than doubled on the hand while Nguyen made an early exit.

William McCraw
Jose Serratos
Christopher Boyd
Chris Gray
Mark Eastham
David Ciener
