Chop it to Survive

Level 25 : 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante

Hovan Nguyen was on the button when he shoved his stack all in. Henry Lu then made the call and tabled {a-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}. Nguyen then turned his {a-Diamonds}{6-Hearts} over and was just behind.

The {q-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{j-Hearts}{k-Clubs}{j-Diamonds} board was Nguyen's savior as he managed to chop it up to survive.

Randy Lew - 12th Place

Randy Lew was fairly short-stacked when he opened shoved his stack holding {6-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}. Henry Lu was the next player to act and called, holding {a-Clubs}{j-Clubs}.

When the {9-Clubs}{a-Hearts}{q-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{q-Hearts} board fell, Lew was sent home in 12th place.

With Lu sending Lew home, amazingly, the last half an hour has seen Lu's stack go from 40,000 to 1,400,000.

Cary Marshall Eliminated in 15th Place ($29,505)

Cary Marshall - 15th Place

Cary Marshall recently doubled his chip stack, but has now found the rail just a few minutes later. The hand in question saw Marshall and James Mackey take to a {k-Spades}{2-Spades}{4-Hearts} flop in a raised pot.

Marshall was first to act on the flop and simply announced an all in. Mackey snapped him off very quickly and tabled his {4-Spades}{4-Clubs}. Marshall held {k-Clubs}{q-Spades} and would need plenty of help to survive.

It was help that would never come as the {7-Clubs} turn and the {3-Clubs} river changed nothing, sending Marshall home in 15th place.
