MacKinnon Runs Into Boat

Level 10 : 400/800, 100 ante

We got to the table to see the end of a hand transpire between DJ MacKinnon and an opponent. The board read {4-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{J-Hearts}{6-Hearts} and MacKinnon's opponent was all in for his tournament life. MacKinnon called only to see his opponent show {4-Diamonds}{4-Spades} for fours full of sixes. This had MacKinnon beat and the pot was awarded to his opponent. MacKinnon currently is sitting on roughly 21,000.

Nguyen Crippled

Level 9 : 300/600, 75 ante

Andrew Nguyen and a lone opponent saw a flop of {5-Diamonds}{A-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} in a raised pot. Nguyen checked over to his opponent who open-shipped all in for 12,625. Nguyen pondered for about a minute before calling only to find that he was behind.

Nguyen: {A-Spades}{9-Spades}
Opponent: {A-Hearts}{K-Spades}

The turn was the {A-Clubs} and the river the {4-Hearts}, ensuring that Nguyen's opponents trips were the best ones. Nguyen was left with only roughly 7,000 after the hand.

Cowboy Rides Into The Sunset

John "Cowboy" Land has been eliminated from play. He was short-stacked for a majority of the day and got in his last roughly 8,000 with pocket deuces before the flop. His opponent called with {A-}{Q-} and flopped an ace, sealing Land's fate and sending him packing.
