Marco Traniello Eliminated in 23rd Place; Binh Nguyen in 22nd ($20,129 each)
Tommy Vinas raised to 25,000 under the gun and was met with a reraise to 90,000 by Marco Traniello in the hijack. When the flop came down 
, Vinas check-called Traniello's all-in bet of 150,000.
Traniello: 
Vinas: 
Traniello held pocket rockets but it was no good against the flopped set of Vinas. The 
turn and 
river provided no help to Traniello and he became our 23rd-place finisher.
At the same time, Binh Nguyen was eliminated from a neighboring table in 22nd place for $20,129.
