Nguyen asked to confirm the count, and once he heard the amount he mucked his hand and gave the pot to Shiganyan.

Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Sungmi Cho raised to 9,000 from the hijack, and was called by Robert Nguyen in the cutoff.

After the 724 flop, Nguyen called a bet of 12,000 from Cho.

The turn brought the K and Cho fired out 22,000, before Nguyen raised him all in, for his stack of 119,000. After sitting in the tank, Cho made the call to put his tournament at risk.

Action was picked up with Joshua Prager all in for 40,000, and Beth Hall calling to put him at risk.

Joshua Prager: AK All in
Beth Hall: 99

It was a flip but Prager would need to improve against the pocket nines of Hall. But once the flop came 989 Prager was left drawing dead after Hall flopped quads. After the 2 on the turn, and 3 on the river, Prager was officially eliminated.
