Classic Cooler Sees Nguyen Chip Up

Level 26 : 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Phong Than Nguyen
Phong Than Nguyen

Adriano Scagnetti limped from middle position. Action folded around to Phong Nguyen in the big blind, who raised to 300,000. The limper responded by shoving and Nguyen snap-called.

Adriano Scagnetti: {k-Spades}{k-Diamonds}
Phong Nguyen: {a-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}

It was an absolute cooler regardless of stack depth, though the current shallow average only made the sting worse for Scagnetti. The hand was not over yet, however, but the {6-Spades}{6-Clubs}{j-Clubs} flop did keep Nguyen well in front. The {j-Diamonds} turn and {7-Diamonds} river bricked out to send a large pot Nguyen's way and eliminate Scagnetti in a cruel fashion.

Perry Finishes Yu

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

The action folded around to John Perry in the small blind as he called and said, "good luck man," to the already all-in Jaeheum Yu for 60,000 in the big blind.

Jaeheum Yu: {7-Hearts}{3-Spades}
John Perry: {k-Clubs}{4-Spades}

The dealer fanned a flop of {9-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}, pairing both players but the {5-Diamonds} turn and {5-Hearts} river meant Yu was sent to the payout desk.

Prager's Kicker Eliminates Schneider

Level 27 : 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Josh Prager raised to 175,000 in the hijack and Peter Schneider jammed for 505,000 on the button. The action folded back around to Prager and he made the call.

Peter Schneider: {a-Spades}{8-Diamonds}
Josh Prager: {a-Diamonds}{j-Spades}

Prager had Schneider dominated and the {9-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{4-Spades}{9-Hearts}{a-Hearts} run out gave both players aces and nines but Prager's jack-kicker played to eliminate Schneider.

Forca Got by Gottlieb

Level 27 : 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Scott Gottlieb shoved from under the gun and received a single call from Michael Forca on the button.

Michael Forca: {a-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}
Scott Gottlieb: {a-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}

Forca was the at risk player and dominated by Gottlieb. The {q-Clubs}{10-Spades}{6-Clubs} flop, while pairing up Gottlieb, did give Forca a gutshot. The {3-Clubs} turn changed nothing as neither player held a club and the {9-Diamonds} river completed the board to send Forca to the rail while Gottlieb passes the 1,000,000 mark.

Iorio's Jacks Hold to Bust Lee

Level 27 : 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Luke Iorio raised to 160,000 in the hijack and Jongwook Lee jammed for about 880,000 in the cutoff. The button and blinds folded quickly and Iorio instantly dropped a chip to make the call.

Jongwook Lee: {k-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}
Luke Iorio: {j-Diamonds}{j-Spades}

Iorio was in great shape as Lee only had one overcard and the board ran out {6-Spades}{6-Clubs}{5-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} for his pocket jacks to hold.

Luong Flops Big to Send Nahama Home

Level 27 : 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Mark Nahama shoved his last 90,000 into the middle from late position and action folded to David Luong in the big blind, who promptly tossed in the 10,000 necessary to make the call, saying "I've got four high but I've gotta try".

Mark Nahama: {k-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}
David Luong: {4-Clubs}{3-Clubs}

Luong did in fact have just four high but both of his cards were live. The {4-Spades}{3-Clubs}{5-Diamonds} flop saw him pair not one but both of his hole cards with the {q-Diamonds} turn leaving Nahama drawing dead to the meaningless {q-Spades} river.
