Philippe Narboni Crippled; Eliminated in 24th Place ($19,848)

Philippe Narboni moved all in from under-the-gun and Chris Bonita made the call. Action passed to Steve Rubinfeld who tanked before mucking ace-king face up.

Narboni: {9-Spades}{9-Hearts}
Bonita: {J-Spades}{J-Hearts}

A flop of {J-Clubs}{3-Spades}{8-Clubs} put Bonita way in front, and Narboni couldn't catch up with the {5-Clubs} and {10-Diamonds}. He was left with just 12,000 after the hand.

Narboni wasted no time in putting his short stack in the middle, getting in the next hand against Jon Christensen.

Narboni: {10-Spades}{8-Hearts}
Christensen: {k-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}

A board of {9-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{J-Spades}{6-Diamonds} gave Christensen two pair, and sent Narboni home with $19,848.
