, and Nguyen bet out 7,100. Mosseri immediately shoved his stack worth about 32,000, and Nguyen made the call, making for a pretty big pot.
Nguyen: 
Mosseri: 
Both players had flush draws, but Mosseri's was better. He had a pair of aces to go with it, and Nguyen would need to hit his straight or two pair to get the knockout. The turn and river came

Elezra On Right Side Of Cooler
Level 4
: 150/300, 0 ante
We didn't catch the action, but we walked by Eli Elezra's table and saw a rather large pot being shipped his way. The board read , and while Elezra's opponent had in her hand, Elezra had for a better full house. That hand boosted Elezra stack up to 70,000, which is the early lead by our counts.
Mercier Loses Some Chips
Dan Kelly raised under the gun to 775, and Kevin Schaffel called. Jason Mercier raised to 2,700, and action folded around to the small blind, who reraised to 8,600. Kelly and Schaffel folded, and Mercier thought for about 20 seconds before sliding in the call. The flop came out 
, and the small blind instantly shoved his last 12,000 in. Mercier thought for about 10 seconds before chucking his cards into the muck, dropping him down to 5,200 with one of his add on chips left.
