Nordstrand Traps Nguyen for Double

Level 26 : 30,000/60,000, 10,000 ante

Cy Church raised to 150,000 from under the gun and was called by Ha Nguyen from the button before Cory Nordstrand three-bet to 425,000 from the small blind.

Action folded back to Church who folded while Nguyen called to see a {6-Spades}{5-Spades}{a-Hearts} flop. Nordstrand checked and then called off his 735,000 stack after Nguyen jammed.

Ha Nguyen: {a-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}
Cory Nordstrand: {a-Spades}{k-Hearts}

Nordstrand disguised his hand well and it payed off as the board competed with the {3-Diamonds} on the turn followed by the {9-Diamonds} on the river.

Level 26 : 30,000/60,000, 10,000 ante
Phil Gioia
Phil Gioia

Phil Gioia opened with a raise from under the gun and then called off his 900,000 stack after Ha Nguyen three-bet all in from the cutoff.

Phil Gioia: {q-Hearts}{q-Clubs}
Ha Nguyen: {a-Spades}{k-Hearts}

It was a classic race with Gioia ahead with his made hand and nothing changed after the {4-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{6-Clubs} flop.

The {j-Diamonds} turn was a safe card for Gioia and he was looking good to score the double-up until the dealer dropped the {k-Spades} on the river ending his tournament.

Drazen Ilich

Drazen Ilich raised all in for 380,000 from the hijack and Cory Nordstrand called off his 375,000 stack from the cutoff.

Drazen Ilich: {a-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}
Cory Nordstrand: {k-Diamonds}{k-Spades}

Ilich was behind and the {9-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{8-Spades} flop didn't change a thing.

The {q-Diamonds} turn gave Ilich more outs as he picked up a gutshot but the {2-Diamonds} completed the board on the river and Nordstrand raked in the chips while Ilich was eliminated the very next hand.
