Small Pots for Nguyen and Chang

Level 26 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Renniel Galvez raised to 100,000 in the cutoff and Quoc Dinh Nguyen defended the big blind. They checked down the entire board of {j-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}{7-Clubs} and Nguyen won the pot with the {10-Spades}{9-Diamonds}. "I had nines," Galvez said and pulled his {9-Hearts}{9-Spades} from near the muck.

One hand later, Alexander Puchalski raised to 100,000 and Nevan Chang defended the big blind. On a {q-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{3-Diamonds} flop, Chang check-called 75,000 and the {8-Hearts} turn was checked. Chang then bet the {9-Diamonds} turn for 185,000 and Puchalski folded.

Galvez Snap-Jams Into Kapoor

Level 26 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Akshay Kapoor raised to 100,000 from under the gun and Nevan Chang defended the big blind to a flop of {k-Clubs}{9-Spades}{3-Hearts}. Chang checked and Kapoor's bet worth 100,000 won the pot.

One hand later, Renniel Galvez opened to 100,000 from under the gun and Quoc Dinh Nguyen called on the button. Kapoor three-bet to 450,000 in the big blind and Galvez instantly pushed all-in. Nguyen folded quickly and so did Kapoor, who then started some table chat with Nguyen in which the latter mentioned he had ace-king of diamonds.

Chris Backhouse

Nevan Chang min-raised before the blinds went up and folded when Akshay Kapoor made it 320,000 to go in the small blind.

Quoc Dinh Nguyen then opened to 100,000 from under the gun and table short stack Chris Backhouse forfeited the big blind and big blind ante.

The very next hand, Renniel Galvez raised to 100,000 in the cutoff and Backhouse jammed the last 450,000 in the small blind. Galvez asked for a count and then sigh-called after some 20 seconds.

Chris Backhouse: {k-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}
Renniel Galvez: {a-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}

The {k-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{3-Spades}{9-Spades} board delivered the double up for the Englishman, who jumped back to 20 blinds.

Markus Garberg Eliminated in 7th Place ($16,137)

Markus Garberg

Markus Garberg pushed all-in for the last 330,000 and it folded to Renniel Galvez on the button, who flat-called.

Markus Garberg: {7-Hearts}{7-Clubs}
Renniel Galvez: {a-Clubs}{9-Clubs}

"Your lucky hand?" Akshay Kapoor asked as the very same hand had given Galvez a double with quads via running nines.

The {j-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} flop kept Garberg in the lead but Galvez went runner-runner once more with the {6-Clubs} turn and {8-Clubs} river, ending an atrocious run of fortune for Garberg in seventh place for a payday of $16,137.

Two Barrels Work for Nguyen

Level 25 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

The {a-Hearts} was exposed preflop and Quoc Dinh Nguyen raised for Alexander Puchalski to call in the big blind. On the {j-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{3-Clubs} flop, Puchalski check-called for 90,000 and then checked the {8-Clubs} on the turn. Nguyen bet 225,000 and Puchalski folded.

Nguyen Cracks Queens; Garberg's Runbad Continues

Alexander Puchalski raised to 80,000 and then folded when Quoc Dinh Nguyen jammed for 610,000 on the button and Markus Garberg went over the top in the small blind.

Quoc Dinh Nguyen: {a-Diamonds}{q-Spades}
Markus Garberg: {q-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}

"Did you fold a pair, Alex?" Nguyen asked and Puchalski nodded with a "sevens".

The {9-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} flop gave Nguyen the superior flush draw and he paced away from the table. On the {8-Diamonds} turn, Nguyen locked up the double and the {9-Clubs} became a formality. Puchalski would have made a full house and Garberg was left as the shortest stack all of a sudden.

Garberg and Backhouse Chop in All-in Showdown

Level 25 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Markus Garberg raised to 80,000 and then called the three-bet shove by Chris Backhouse for 770,000 in the small blind after some hesitation.

Chris Backhouse: {a-Spades}{q-Hearts}
Markus Garberg: {a-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}

The {a-Hearts}{j-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} board gave both players some back door outs but the {3-Clubs} turn and {5-Clubs} river ensured the split pot.

Nevan Chang then opened to 80,000 from under the gun and Garberg called in the big blind. The Norwegian check-called for 55,000 on the {a-Hearts}{10-Spades}{9-Clubs} flop and check-folded the {q-Spades} turn when facing a second barrel for 235,000.
