Nguyen Growing

Level 6 : 150/300, 25 ante

Andy Nguyen and two other players committed 825 before the flop. The dealer spread out {Q-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{5-Hearts} for their viewing pleasure and action checked on over to Nguyen. He shot out 950 and both of his opponents got rid of their hands. With this little win, Nguyen is now sitting on about 40,000.

Moneymaker Runs Into Flush

Level 5 : 100/200, 25 ante

We caught up to see a Chris Moneymaker and a lone opponent looking down at a very red flop that read {3-Hearts}{A-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}. Moneymaker's opponent led with a bet of 4,700 and Moneymaker took about fifteen seconds before deciding to call.

His opponent rolled up {9-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} for a diamond flush and Moneymaker threw his hand into the muck. Even with that hit Moneymaker is still sitting healthy with about 52,000 in chips.

Lee Loses Second Bullet

Level 5 : 100/200, 25 ante

Bernard Lee has been eliminated from play.

A player opened from early position with a raise to 650 and Lee shipped in his last 3,500 over the top. His opponent called and the hands were tabled.

Lee: {A-Spades}{K-Spades}
Opponent: {A-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds}

The flop was {K-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} and Lee retained his lead, but he was drawing dead on the turn when the {10-Diamonds} hit and gave his opponent the nut flush.
