Nguyen Crushed

Level 19 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

Chandra Winardi shoved all in over a Dominik Nitsche 16,000-chip open and Soi Nguyen re-shipped behind for more.

Nitsche folded and it looked bad for Winardi on {2-Diamonds}{2-Spades} against Nguyen's {q-Clubs}{q-Hearts}. The {10-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{9-Clubs} flop was safe for Nguyen, but the {2-Hearts} turn made Winardi a set.

The {a-Clubs} river ensured the double for Winardi and left Nguyen in shove or fold mode.

Soi Nguyen Eliminated in 24th Place ($9,910)

Level 19 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante
Soi Nguyen - 24th Place

Billy Horan opened to 20,000, and Soi Nguyen shoved from the blinds. Horan grabbed a stack of chips and confidently put it in the middle.

Horan: {k-Hearts}{k-Clubs}
Nguyen: {a-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}

Kings are a good reason for optimism, and Horan's hand found no trouble on the {3-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}{8-Hearts} board.

Gross' Optimism Proves Warranted

Level 19 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

Jeff Gross pushed all in for 107,000 and was called by Mike Smith.

"I'm gonna have to get lucky," Gross said.

Smith revealed {a-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}.

"Oh, I can win that," Gross said, turning over {k-Hearts}{q-Spades} for live cards.

No sooner had he said it than the flop came {q-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}{10-Clubs}, giving him trips. The {9-Spades} gave Smith a straight draw, though only half of it was good, and the {3-Spades} river was a blank.

Smith will have less than two big blinds after break.

Mike Smith returned from the break with just 15,000 and open-shoved with the {9-Hearts}{6-Hearts}.

Two seats over, Arthur Baraan re-shoved for 70,000 and after Jason Senti thought about it for a minute, he let the big blind go.

Baraan had {a-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} and it held on a {3-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{3-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{10-Hearts} board to send Smith home.

Jonathan Neckar Eliminated in 22nd Place ($9,910)

Level 20 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante
Jonathan Neckar 22nd.
Jonathan Neckar 22nd.

Jonathan Neckar got outflopped by Jeff Gross in a massive pot moments ago.

We picked up the hand with Gross shoving 190,000 over a 27,000 bet from Neckar on a {8-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{7-Diamonds} flop. Neckar made the call with {q-Clubs}{q-Spades}, Gross had {8-Hearts}{8-Clubs} and after a {5-Hearts}{j-Diamonds} run out, Neckar was down to just 35k.

He raised the next hand to 27,000 and got two callers. The rest went in with {7-Hearts}{8-Hearts} on a {j-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{4-Spades} flop against Louis Campbell holding {j-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}.

Neckar was sent packing after the {a-Hearts} turn and {6-Spades} river.
