Zak Runs Out of Chips
Level 21
: 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante
At almost at the same time as Masatoshi Tanaka, it was Elan Zak that ran out of chips and had to settle for 29th place. Zak got into some table banter with Chi Thinh Nguyen after a raise was already pulled in and Zak was at risk for another 140,000 on top. Ultimately, the chatter got Nguyen to call with the words "okay I am in" and Zak applauded with "let's gamble."
Elan Zak: 
Chi Thinh Nguyen: 
Nguyen paired his jack on the 
flop, and the 
turn and 
river failed to improve Zak. Both players shook hands before Zak headed out of the tournament area.
