Big Hands and Storylines:
Men Nguyen Takes Down a Large Pot, Eliminates Opponent
Men Nguyen took down a large pot with pocket aces after risking his tournament life against two opponents. The aces held, and Nguyen eliminated one opponent. The pot brought Men’s stack to over 100,000.
Gus put to the test and folds
With a board of J
8
6
3, Gus Hansen bet 22,200 and was raised all in. Hansen had 55,000 chip left, and after a minute to think -- and allow camera crews and reporters to swarm -- he folded.
Khan commits most of stack, gets fold
With the board 9
843, Hevad Khan bet 43,500 and only had about 30,000 behind him. The pot had about 170,000 chips in it, giving Khan's opponent fantastic odds if there was a chance he was ahead or had a reasonable draw. But he folded, and after the hand Khan had about 200,000 chips.
Patel doubles up through Agarwal
Kush Patel moved all in and was called by Aditya Agarwal. Patel held A-Q and was up against pocket nines. Things looked good initially for Agarwal, but an ace came on the river to give the 110,000-chip pot to Patel. Agarwal dropped to about 215,000 chips after the hand.
Matusow Gets His Chips Back
Mike Matusow has recovered from the hit he took earlier today. He got all-in against an opponent on a board of 873. His opponent had KK but Matusow had him drawing to two outs with 77. The turn was the 8 and the river was the 6. With that, Matusow climbs back up to 250,000
