Nikolay Fal Eliminated in 18th Place ($7,141)
Level 21
: 15,000/30,000, 3,000 ante
Following the previous events that saw Nikolay Fal drop below two big bets, the Russian player tried his luck to make his Matusow-like come back. However, it wasn't meant to be for Fal, who lost his remaining chips to Valentin Vornicu.
Stud Hi-Lo
It was still in stud hi-lo when Fal found jacks in the hole but Vornicu had queens. Neither the board nor the river helped Fal to improve. Fal was today's first casualty and the tournament is now one elimination away from another redraw.
