Sebastian Segovia Eliminated in Ninth Place ($39,523)
Sebastian Segovia raised to 49,000 in middle position and John Phan reraised to 150,000 to isolate. All of a sudden, Matt Vengrin reraised to 500,000, and Segovia called. The raise induced a fold from Phan. Segovia showed down A
K

Tony "MuckTheNuts" Dunst Eliminated in Eighth Place ($54,344)
Tony Dunst moved all in for his last 133,000 and Matt Vengrin made the call in the big blind. Dunst showed KK and was up against 98. Dunst held a big lead, but the board came 1087J10 to send him to the rail in eighth place. After the hand, Vengrin was up to 1.5 million in chips.
John Phan Bleeding Chips
Meanwhile, John Phan has been forced to lay down big hands a few times now. The end result is a stack about half as large as he held coming in.
NOTE: The players then took a small break while they were relocated to a new table in the green section of the room. There was a problem with the lighting and now they have a visual of a tournament clock.
