Level 16: Blinds 6k/12k/12k
On a heads-up flop of [9h5s3s], Will Nguyen led out from the small blind for 75,000 but then Michael McArdle jammed all in for 313,000 total. Nguyen quickly made the call and the cards were on their backs with McArdle at risk.
Michael McArdle: [9c6h]
Will Nguyen: [Qs9s]
McArdle needed some help to catch up to Nguyen's superior kicker and flush draw, but the board completed with [5d4c] for Nguyen to take the pot and sent McArdle to the payout desk in 8th place.
The action on the hand was missed, but it ended with Trung Pham being sent to the payout desk in 9th place as the first final table casualty.
