Hand #28 -

Melvin Jones has the button in Seat 5. David Bach open-raises to 130,000. Theo Tran calls from the small blind, as does Chris Ferguson from the big blind. The flop comes {K-Clubs} {9-Spades} {5-Hearts}. Tran and Ferguson both check to Bach, who checks behind. Fourth street is the {3-Hearts}. Tran and Ferguson check to Bach again.

Bach tanks for about a minute before pushing all in. Ferguson removes his sunglasses and starts massaging his temples while Tran, hand on his forehead, asks for a count. The dealer counts down Bach's stack as 600,000. Tran takes two minutes before reraising all in himself, quickly folding Ferguson.

Bach shows {7-Diamonds} {6-Diamonds} for a double gutshot straight draw; Tran has {J-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} for middle pair. Tran gets up from his seat and goes back to his cheering section in the back corner to watch the river come down {2-Clubs}.

David Bach is eliminated in 8th place, collecting $117,987.

Hand #27 - Grant Hinkle

Mike Ngo has the button in seat 4. Grant Hinkle raises to 125,000 from early position. Action folds to Theo Tran and he calls from the big blind. They go heads up to a flop of {Q-Spades} {4-Clubs} {2-Diamonds} . Both players check. The turn comes the {5-Hearts}. Tran bets 175,000 and Hinkle calls. The river is the {8-Hearts}. Tran checks and Hinkle moves all in for roughly 700,000. Tran folds and Hinkle wins the pot.

Nature Calls

James Ankenhead just left the tournament area and headed for the restroom. As per tournament rules, he'll be dealt into the hands, but will likely miss a few.
