Level 35
: Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante
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: 9♦9♠
Tommy Nguyen: A♠6♥
The board went 2♣K♦4♦6♣Q♦ 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: 7♦7♣
Stanislav Zegal: K♠K♥
Unfortunately Nguyen ran into kings and he did not improve on the board of Q♥3♦10♣6♥8♣ and the pair of kings won the pot.

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: A♣4♦
Yun Choi: A♦9♣
Sure enough the board came out with 2♦4♣Q♥J♥4♠ and Matusow was served a nice pot with his trip fours.
