Not So Lucky Ladies for Niste, Hanna Hits 300,000
Level 8
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Samuel Dray opened the cutoff to 4,000 and Georges Hanna called on the button. Mihai Niste was in the big blind and shoved for 23,500, which got Dray to fold, but Hanna flicked in the call.
Mihai Niste: Q♣Q♥ 
Georges Hanna: A♦Q♠
Niste was in the lead, but was reduced to one out after the 9♥A♠8♠ flop as Hanna paired his ace. A J♠ on the turn gave both players a straight draw and Hanna also picked up a flush draw. The river brought a 5♣, which was no help to Niste, and he was eliminated.
