Hand #15 - Phung Ngo Eliminated in 8th Place ($87,484)

Phung Ngo - 8th Place
Phung Ngo - 8th Place
Aliaksandr Dzianisau has the button in Seat 7.

Max Greenwood raises to 50,000. Curt Kohlberg folds, and Rene Mouritsen reraises to 170,000. Action comes to Phung Ngo in the small blind, and he moves all in for a total of 250,000. Greenwood ducks out, and Rene Mouritsen makes the call for the additional 90,000.

Mouritsen: {A-Clubs} {J-Diamonds}
Ngo: {8-Spades} {8-Hearts}

Ngo is all in, and at risk of elimination, racing for his tournament life. The dealer runs out the board: {10-Hearts} {A-Diamonds} {4-Clubs} {6-Hearts} {5-Spades}. Mouritsen catches his pair on the flop, and Ngo can't find another eight. He is eliminated in eighth place, and will pick up a check for nearly $90,000 for his work over the last three days.
