Minh Nguyen had his night end unfortunately when he ran into "HavingFun".
Nguyen 8♠8♦
"HavingFun" Q♣4♠
"HavingFun" immediately spiked a queen on a flop of 3♣5♠Q♠. Nguyen exhausted his opportunities to catch back up when the 10♦ then the K♥ hit the turn and river. And "HavingFun" was certainly having more than Nguyen.
Charles Phillips put in a 2x raise from late position and Chris Battenfield called from the big blind. The flop rolled off 2♥4♥5♠. Battenfield checked and Phillips continued for 55,600.
The turn brought another two into play, the 2♣. Battenfield checked again, and Phillips fired another barrel. But there was a ricochet, as Battenfield check-raised for $332,900. Phillips called, and they took in a river of J♣.
Battenfield open-shoved and Phillips called for his last $720,978. Phillips turned over K♠4♠, only to see Battenfield's K♣2♦. The hero call died on the battlefield, and Phillips was out in 30th place.
Chris Battenfield, having flopped quads on the previous hand, was faced in the big blind with the all in of Steven Lisk.
Lisk J♣K♦
Battenfield 2♣2♦
Lisk's overs could not defeat Battenfield's ducks on a board of 6♣7♠4♦3♥7♣. Lisk's night ended in 38th place, and Battenfield vaulted further up the leaderboard.
