| Jeffino |
Joseph Jeffino came into the final table with the second shortest stack, and he was able to ride it up a couple of pay bumps before bowing out in 6th place.
Action started with chip leader Thu Nguyen raising it up to 20,000 in late position. Jeffino was the lone caller defending his big blind, and the flop came down [4h][8h][2d]. Jeffino check called a bet of 45,000, and the [Jh] hit the turn. Jeffino checked again, and Nguyen tossed out 60,000. This time, Jeffino raised it up, moving all in for 112,000 more. Nguyen stood up, got the count, and made the call.
Nguyen: [9c][9h]
Jeffino: [Ac][Kh]
It was a good call by Nguyen, who needed to fade an ace, king, or heart to win the hand. He was able to do so, as the [4s] hit the river, knocking Jeffino out in 6th, and strengthening Nguyen's lead.
