Nir Peleg

Willie Wiggins and Tom Gottlieb limped from middle position and Nir Peleg moved all in from the button for about 400,000. Jaime Wiegrefe moved all in over the top from the small blind and the two limpers folded.

Wiegrefe: TsTh
Peleg: QhQc

Peleg was in great shape for a double up but there was a ten in the window of the Td5c4s flop to give Wiegrefe a set. Neither the 6s turn nor the 8c river could return the two-out favor for Peleg and he was eliminated in 16th place.

Jaime Wiegrefe – 1,180,000 (79 bb)
Nir Peleg – Eliminated in 16th Place ($1,760)

Jamar Brown

Willie Wiggins limped from early position, Jamar Brown moved all in for 205,000 from the button and Wiggins called.

Wiggins: AhKs
Brown: 6s6d

It was a race and Brown needed his sixes to hold to double up. But Wiggins paired his king on the Kc9h5d flop to take the lead. The Jh turn and 4c river finished the board to send Brown out in 17th place.

Willie Wiggins – 2,100,000 (140 bb)
Jamar Brown  –  Eliminated in 17th Place ($1,760)

Nick Turchi

Uri Tenenboim opened from under the gun, Nir Peleg three-bet to 70,000 next to act, and Nick Turchi shipped all in for 80,000 from the button. Tenenboim moved all in over the top for 450,000 total and Peleg folded.

Teneboim: AcKd
Turchi: 9c6s

Turchi was at risk but had two live cards for a chance to double up. The board ran out 8d4s3c8sKh and he was eliminated in 19th place.

Uri Tenenboim – 635,000 (42 bb)
Nick Turchi  –  Eliminated in 19th Place ($1,760)
