Back-to-back Eliminations in Table #467
Eric Manson limped in middle position and Peter Hengsakul raised to 70,000 in late position. Action folded to the big blind Ko Isayama who shoved all-in. Manson called putting himself at risk and pushing Hengsakul out of the pot.
Eric Manson: Q♠Q♦ 
Ko Isayama: A♠K♣
The flop came 6♦A♦A♣ giving Isayama trips and leaving Manson to hope for a miracle. The runout 10♥7♣ didn't help Manson. Manson headed to the payout counter as Isayama scooped the pot.
Even before anyone could take a breather from that elimination, Michael Nguyen raised to 45,000 from cutoff and was called by big blind Yuki Sakamoto to see a flop.
The flop came 4♣10♠3♥. With only 45,000 behind Sakamoto shoved all-in. Nguyen snap-called.
Yuki Sakamoto: 6♦5♦
Michael Nguyen: A♦Qx
Sakamoto was hoping to complete his straight against Nguyen's lead with ace-high. The turn 8♠ didn't help Sakamoto and the river A♣ improved Nguyen's hand to send Sakamoto to join Manson at the payout counter.
