Hovan Nguyen was on the button when he shoved his stack all in. Henry Lu then made the call and tabled {a-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}. Nguyen then turned his {a-Diamonds}{6-Hearts} over and was just behind.

The {q-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{j-Hearts}{k-Clubs}{j-Diamonds} board was Nguyen's savior as he managed to chop it up to survive.

Randy Lew was fairly short-stacked when he opened shoved his stack holding {6-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}. Henry Lu was the next player to act and called, holding {a-Clubs}{j-Clubs}.

When the {9-Clubs}{a-Hearts}{q-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{q-Hearts} board fell, Lew was sent home in 12th place.

Cary Marshall Eliminated in 15th Place ($29,505)

Cary Marshall - 15th Place
Cary Marshall - 15th Place

Cary Marshall recently doubled his chip stack, but has now found the rail just a few minutes later. The hand in question saw Marshall and James Mackey take to a {k-Spades}{2-Spades}{4-Hearts} flop in a raised pot.

Marshall was first to act on the flop and simply announced an all in. Mackey snapped him off very quickly and tabled his {4-Spades}{4-Clubs}. Marshall held {k-Clubs}{q-Spades} and would need plenty of help to survive.

It was help that would never come as the {7-Clubs} turn and the {3-Clubs} river changed nothing, sending Marshall home in 15th place.
