Mender Eliminated, Chiu Crippled
Level 20
: 4,000/8,000, 0 ante
Anthony Mender was all in for his last 3,000, and Won Goag raised it up to 16,000. David Chiu called on the button, as did Dao Bac in the small blind. The board ran down 
, and Goag bet every step of the way. He was called by both Chiu and Bac until the river, where Chiu was the only caller.
Goag tabled 
for sixes full, and everyone mucked their hand. Chiu was left with just 20,000 after that hand. Mender was eliminated in 26th place, and Max Steinberg was the first elimination of the final three tables, bowing out in 27th.
