Event 3: 9th Place - Blumenthal

$350 + $50 Deep Stack No Limit Hold'em (Re-Entry)


Blinds: 30k/60k/5k ante

Eddie Blumenthal (Madison, WI)
$4,224

Eddie Blumenthal takes a huge hit when his Aces are cracked by Manh Nguyen's Queens, before Nguyen eventually knocks out Blumenthal.

Blumenthal is pained to see the two-outer on the river and sends a 1.3 million chip double-up to Nguyen and is left with 1 million chips.  The two tangle again with Blumenthal all in with A9 against Nguyen's pocket 5s. Nguyen hits another set to get the knockout and take his stack to 3.5 million.

Blumenthal finishes in 9th place for $4,224.

Nguyen is now second in chips behind Marvin Hayes' 4 million.
