Tai Dies, Jurgens Down the Gurgler

The 38th event of the 2011 WSOP is now down to 31 players after Tai Nguyen and Tad Jurgens were eliminated simultaneously on different tables.

Earlier, Jurgens pushed the last of his money into the middle before the flop with {9-Spades}{7-Spades}, but ran smack into the {k-Hearts}{K-Diamonds} of Matt Wilkins. Nothing changed after the board was spread {5-Diamonds}{A-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{8-Spades} and Jurgens was eliminated.

Then we wheeled around Tai had moved all-in with {A-Diamonds}{J-Spades} before the flop, but he found himself flipping for his tournament life against Per Martin Jacobson's {9-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}. The board ran out {5-Spades}{2-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{10-Spades} and that was the end of Tai's run.
