Abe Mosseri and Men "The Master" Nguyen took a flop of {4-Diamonds} {a-Spades} {8-Spades} , and Nguyen bet out 7,100. Mosseri immediately shoved his stack worth about 32,000, and Nguyen made the call, making for a pretty big pot.

Nguyen: {7-Diamonds} {5-Diamonds} {3-Spades} {q-Spades}
Mosseri: {k-Spades} {j-Spades} {a-Clubs} {6-Clubs}

Both players had flush draws, but Mosseri's was better. He had a pair of aces to go with it, and Nguyen would need to hit his straight or two pair to get the knockout. The turn and river came {7-Clubs} and {4-Hearts} , and Mosseri took the pot to double up.

Tran Triples To Big Stack

Livello 5 : 200/400, 0 ante

J.C. Tran got the last of his 30,000 in prelop against two other players, and when the hands were flipped up, Tran saw that he was in good shape.

Tran: {a-Diamonds} {a-Hearts} {6-Spades} {3-Clubs}
Opponent 1: {7-Clubs} {k-Diamonds} {8-Diamonds} {k-Clubs}
Opponent 2: {j-Hearts} {k-Hearts} {k-Spades} {q-Spades}

Tran's opponents were splitting kings, meaning that he would only need to avoid flush outs or two pair coming. Well Tran virtually left his opponents drawing dead when the flop came {a-Spades} {6-Spades} {a-Clubs} , giving Tran quads. He could only lose to a royal flush coming, but it came {q-Clubs} and {5-Clubs} . Tran is now sitting on 95,000.

Habib Misses Everything, Eliminated

Livello 5 : 200/400, 0 ante

We came to Hasan Habib's table as he was all in on the turn, with the board reading {7-Hearts} {k-Hearts} {2-Clubs} {10-Clubs} . The players revealed their cards, and Habib had a world of outs.

Habib: {k-Clubs} {q-Hearts} {9-Hearts} {6-Clubs}
Opponent: {7-Spades} {7-Diamonds} {k-Spades} {q-Spades}

Habib needed any club, heart, or jack in the deck to win, but the river brought an uneventful {4-Diamonds} , and Habib was eliminated.

...Aaand Antonius is Out

Livello 5 : 200/400, 0 ante

Patrik Antonius has made his exit nearly as quickly as he came in. We missed the hand where he apparently lost a majority of his chips, however, his last hand went down as follows.

The player in the hi-jack opened for 800 and was called by the button and Antonius from the big.

The flop came {9-Hearts} {4-Clubs} {8-Clubs} and Antonius donked for 2,600. The hi-jack folded but the player on the button raised enough to put Antonius all in. Antonius re-checked his hole cards and slid his remaining chips into the middle.

Antonius: {4-Spades} {8-Spades} {2-Clubs} {10-Clubs}
Opponent: {9-Spades} {9-Diamonds} {a-Spades} {5-Spades}

The {3-Spades} turn and {8-Hearts} river were no help to Antonius, who stood up and wished everyone good luck.

"I have bad luck today," Antonius said as he walked away from the table.
