Hand #122: Larry Wells Eliminated in 7th Place ($91,544)

Hand #122 – Soi Nguyen raises to 120,000 from under the gun and Larry Wells calls from middle position.  The flop comes [Ac7d6c] and Nguyen bets 130,000.  Wells calls.

The turn is the [5h] and Nguyen bets 275,000.  Wells, once again, calls.  The river brings the [As] and Nguyen announces that he is all-in, having Wells covered.  Wells calls with [AdJs] for trip aces, but Nguyen shows [8d9d] for a nine-high straight to take the pot, eliminate Wells, and take the chip lead into tomorrow’s action.

Wells is eliminated just shy of the televised final table.  The remaining six players are now bagging and tagging their chips and getting instructions about tomorrow’s televised and live streamed final table.
