The Master Makes His Exit

Level 8 : 200/400, 50 ante

Men "The Master" Nguyen has been eliminated from the tournament.

He raised preflop to 1,100 and Sam Phillips re-raised all in for 8,425. Nguyen had slightly less chips and opted to call, putting his tournament life on the line.

Nguyen: {a-Spades}{q-Clubs}
Phillips: {a-Diamonds}{k-Spades}

The board ran out {8-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{10-Spades} and Nguyen was sent to the rail. After the hand Phillips bragged that he had busted two pros so far today. In addition to "The Master," Phillips claimed to also have busted Andy Bloch.
