Nenad Medic Eliminated by Jorge "Twin-Caracas" Arias

On a flop of Q106, Mickey "Mouse" Mills bet 16,000 and Nenad Medic called all in for 13,000. Jorge "Twin-Caracas" Arias called the 16,000 bet and the turn was the A. Both players checked the side pot and the river was the 6. Once again both players checked and Arias turned over QQJ7 for a full house (queens full of sixes). Mills and Medic both mucked their hands. Medic made his way to the rail as Arias raked the pot.

Tony G Eliminated by David Singer

Shortly after John D'Agostino doubled through him, David Singer got some of it back after eliminating Tony G from the tournamnet and pulling his chips over to his side of the table.

Singer raised to 8,000 from early position and Tony G and reraised the size of the pot (22,500). Singer called and the flop came 1083. Tony G bet his last 1,000 chip and Singer called.

Tony G: AAJ7
Singer: KKQJ

Tony G led on the flop with a pair of aces and a jack-high flush draw, Singer held pocket kings and a king-high flush draw. Both players had a gut-shot straight draw with a nine, Tony's to the jack and Singer's to the queen. The turn was the 9, giving both players their straight, Singer with the best hand. At this point Tony G was drawing to a chopped pot with a queen, otherwise he would be eliminated from the tournament. The river was the 8 and Tony G hit the rail.
