Scotty Nguyen didn't have many chips left in front of him, but he lost his final ones to Ray Qartomy who entered about an hour ago.

The flop read {7-Clubs}{2-Spades}{3-Diamonds} and all the chips went in. Qartomy opened up {10-Spades}{10-Clubs} and Nguyen still needed to hit with {A-Diamonds}{K-Spades}.

The board ran out with the {9-Diamonds} turn and the {J-Spades} river and that means Nguyen was eliminated from the tournament.

Petrangelo Gets Caught

Level 6 : 300/600, 600 ante

The under-the-gun player raised to 1,400 and Nick Petrangelo called from the button, as did Alexandru Papazian from the big blind.

The flop came down {J-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds}{Q-Spades} and it checked to Petrangelo. He decided to go for a bet of 1,600 and, after Papazian had folded, the under-the-gun player called.

The turn was the {8-Hearts} and Petrangelo's opponent check-called the 2,700 bet.

The river was the {2-Diamonds} and they checked to Petrangelo again. He decided to go for an all-in shove for effectively 9,100 and he was instantly called. Petrangelo tried to muck his hand but it was an all-in situation and the dealer opened up his {K-Hearts}{9-Hearts}. His opponent showed {9-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}.

Petrangelo said with a smile, "Looks like that would've worked," as his opponent was stacking his chips.

Liv Boeree just entered the tournament and she's off to a good start.

It folded around to Sergio Aido in the small blind and he limped. Big blind Boeree raised to 2,100 and Aido called the raise.

The flop came down {3-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{K-Clubs}. Aido checked to Boeree and she bet 1,600. Aido called again.

The turn was the {10-Spades} and Aido check-called again when Boeree bet. This time the bet was 4,800 and both players went to the river.

The dealer dealt the {6-Clubs} river card to complete the board and Aido checked to Boeree for a final time. Boeree bet 16,200 and Aido went in the tank. He thought about it for a couple of minutes before eventually letting go of his hand.
