Alfred Grech was the last player eliminated before the final table
Alfred Grech was the last player eliminated before the final table
Alfred Grech limped in with {k-Hearts}{k-Spades} from the small blind and Bruce Nguyen checked his option in the big blind with {7-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}.

The flop came {3-Spades}{7-Spades}{5-Hearts} with the chips getting shipped into the middle. The {2-Clubs} turn gave Nguyen more options and the {6-Clubs} on the river completed a straight.

After the hand Grech was left with just 16,000. Grech then shipped it in with {A-Diamonds}{5-Hearts} and found Nguyen waiting with {6-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}. The flop was {3-Spades}{9-Clubs}{5-Clubs}. The {6-Clubs} turn made Nguyen a set and put paid to Grech's final table hopes.

Bruce Nguyen goes to the final table with 164,000 chips. He'll be joined by George Dionisopoulos who advances with 53,600.
