Nguyen and Lopez Toasted
Level 23
: 12,000/24,000, 24,000 ante
Scott Vesilek saw action fold to him in the cutoff and opened to 52,000. Vy Nguyen was next to act on the button and three-bet shoved for around 200,000. Satoshi Tanaka announced he was all in, coming over the top in the big blind and Vesilek got out of the two players' ways.
Vy Nguyen: 
Satoshi Tanaka: 
Nguyen was drawing thin and the flop 
did no more than give him a backdoor spade draw. The turn came 
to leave him drawing dead and the river 
completed the runout, resulting in his elimination from the tournament.
Also eliminated earlier was Angel Lopez, and 38 players now remain.
