Level 17 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

The hand began with a raise by Steven Nguyenpham in early position to 16,000.

Xia Wang came along from middle position calling the 16,000 raise.

Michael Reisman opted to play for it all, pushing all in. The table folded around to Nguyenpham, who decided on a call putting his tournament life at risk.

Wang got out of the way with a fold.

Steven Nguyenpham: 9♥9♠ All in
Michael Reisman: 5♥5♠

Nguyenpham began with a nice lead over Reisman and the 3♠2♦Q♠ flop kept it that way; however, Reisman spiked the 5♣ on the turn to take a commanding lead.

The 2♠ river sealed Nguyenpham's fate, eliminating him from the event.

Gabrielle Barredo

Level 17 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

The hand was in progress with two players looking at a flop of K♥Q♦10♠ and a pot of around 65,000. Philip Restivo check-called after Mark Kawamoto fired 23,000 in the pot.

Restivo decided to lead on the A♥ turn for 75,000, which Kawamoto called after a few seconds. The 2♥ river dropped and Restivo announced he was all in without any hesitation. After asking to see Restivo's chips, Kawamoto called, putting his opponent at risk.

Restivo declared "I have two pair," but Kawamoto didn't respond, waiting for him to show first. Restivo showed A♦K♣ for top two pair, which didn't beat Kawamoto's straight with A♠J♠, eliminating Restivo in the process.
