Level 35 : Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante
Tommy Nguyen
Tommy Nguyen

Two hands led to Tommy Nguyen's elimination:

Nguyen raised from the cutoff to 800,000 and David Cabrera Polop three-bet all in for 2,825,000. Nguyen thought long and hard and finally made the call reluctantly.

David Cabrera Polop: 99 All in
Tommy Nguyen: A6

The board went 2K46Q and the nines held to double up Polop and damage Nguyen.

On the second hand Nguyen moved all in from middle position for 5,150,000 and Stanislav Zegal called from the hijack.

Tommy Nguyen: 77 All in
Stanislav Zegal: KK

Unfortunately Nguyen ran into kings and he did not improve on the board of Q31068 and the pair of kings won the pot.

"There are a lot of Fours in the Deck"

Level 35 : 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante

Yun Choi was in the cutoff and moved all in for 2,000,000 effective and Mike Matusow called from the button.

Matusow said matter of factly when he saw Choi's cards, "That's ok there are a lot of fours in the deck".

Mike Matusow: A4 All in
Yun Choi: A9

Sure enough the board came out with 24QJ4 and Matusow was served a nice pot with his trip fours.

Zegal went into the tank but eventually decided to release the hand and the other two players opened their cards.

Tae Hoon Chang: K9All in
David Cabrera Polop: AA

The board ran out 521098, the aces held up and Chang was out.
