Level 26 : 30,000/60,000, 0 ante

Hand #199: Ronnie Bardah raised from the button and Gabriel Nassif called from the small blind. Michael Moore folded his big and it was heads-up action to the flop. Nassif checked, Bardah bet and Nassif raised. Bardah got in for 33,000 total and the cards were tabled.

Bardah:
Nassif:

"I got no pair, no draw," Bardah admitted before he even revealed his hand. It got even worse when he discovered Nassif shared the king, had a pair of threes and was drawing to the flush. The turn gave Nassif the said flush and left Bardah and his dreams of capturing a second bracelet drawing dead. The meaningless completed the board on the river and Bardah was eliminated in third place.

The classy Bardah shook hands with his opponents and then thanked his rail, which included Danny "Miami Boss" Suied, Tristan Wade and Matthew Waxman, for coming out to support him.

Moore Looking for Gold

Chad Holloway

Level 26 : 30,000/60,000, 0 ante

Both Gabriel Nassif and Michael Moore are searching for their first gold bracelet but each player has come close in the past. Nassif scored a sixth-place finish back in 2009 during a $2,500 Limit Hold'em Six-Handed event for $27,720. Moore, on the other hand, almost made the final table of the 1995 World Series of Poker Main Event when he finished in tenth place for $27,680. Needless to say, Moore wanted to be the last man standing, which was ultimately Dan Harrington.

Moore, who has said one of his long-term goals is to win a bracelet, is awfully close to having one here in Event #37: $5,000 Limit Hold'em. Will he be able to capture the elusive trophy or will Nassif get his first? Stay tuned to find out.
