Mathew Rego Eliminated in 12th Place ($9,988)
Level 28
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 0 ante
James Chen opened the action with a raise. To his left, Mathew Rego shoved all in for a little more and everyone folded to Chen, who called.
Mathew Rego: K♥K♣Q♠4♦
James Chen J♥J♦7♦7♠
The K♠9♣4♥ flop all but secured it for Rego, although the 8♠ on the turn brought a minor sweat with the gutshot.
The dealer burned and turned the 10♠ on the river to complete the backdoor straight for Chen and send Rego packing.
"Oh my God!" Jamie Kerstetter and Matthew Aronowitz blurted out.
