Greg Roberts limps under the gun, Danny Nguyen raises to 175,000 from the button, and Ryan Vega moves all in for 900,000 from the small blind. The big blind releases and Roberts calls all in for his last 440,000. Nguyen thinks for a few seconds and calls to put both Vega and Roberts at risk.

Roberts is ahead for the triple up and Vega needs to catch to stay in the game. The  flop gives Vega some gutshot outs but the board finishes  and  to send him out.

Roberts triples up his stack, Vega is eliminated, and Nguyen gets a side pot rebate from Vega’s stack.

Greg Roberts – 910,000 (18 bb)
Danny Nguyen – 2,400,000 (48 bb)
Ryan Vega – Eliminated in 30th place ($6,000)
