We picked this one up on the flop. With the board showing {9-Hearts}

, Parviz Razavian checked from the small blind, and Robert Kalb bet 160,000 from the big blind. Jason Moungey then pushed all in for 450,000 from the cutoff.

Razavian -- whom Moungey had covered -- called. Kalb, seeing two players all in, folded, showing Q-Q as he did.

Razavian {9-Clubs}

Moungey

Tough spot for Razavian there. He'd flopped top two, but Moungey had a set of deuces. The turn was the {5-Diamonds}

and the river the {4-Spades}

, and Razavian is out in 14th. Moungey is now up to 1.3 million.

The table folded around to Jason Moungey who completed in the small blind, and Peter Nguyen checked his option in the big blind. The flop came {8-Hearts}

. Moungey checked, Nguyen bet 50,000, and Moungey called. Both checked the {4-Diamonds}

on the turn. The river brought the {6-Hearts}

. Moungey bet 90,000, and Nguyen folded.

Moungey now has 450,000, and Nguyen 350,000. Both are a bit below the average chip stack at the moment, which is about 580,000 with 14 players remaining.

Steve Pierce was eliminated after moving all-in preflop with pocket sevens. Parviz Razavian called and held {A-Diamonds}

. The flop came {8-Hearts}

and Pierce appeared to be in great shape. Parviz saw the eight as the door card and walked away from the table, without realizing a set had been hit. However, the turn came the {8-Spades}

, which appeared to be of no help for Parviz, until the {A-Hearts}

on the river to give Parviz a running full house to best Pierce's full house.

Parviz was quite shocked, and relieved when he returned.

Level: 20

Blinds: 10,000/20,000

Ante: 3,000

Anderson Silva raised to 50,000 from the hijack seat, chip leader Rasmus Nielsen reraised to 150,000 from the button, and Paul Kim shoved all in for just under 300,000 from the small blind.

Silva folded, and as Nielsen was deciding what to do, Kim stood up and jumped around a little. Nielsen was momentarily distracted, but then after he counted what was needed to call, he went ahead and did so.

Kim had {9-Clubs}

, and Nielsen {A-Diamonds}

. The flop brought an ace -- {A-Clubs}

, and Nielsen was ahead. The turn and river -- {5-Spades}

-- didn't help Kim, and he's out in 16th.
