Sam GoncuogluSam Goncuoglu Enjoying His New Chips

With the short stacks of Derrick Mokedi and Gene O’Leary all-in in front of him, Sam Goncuoglu had the good fortune of looking down at pocket aces. He called, and was up against the Mokedi’s suited Q6 and O’Leary’s suited J4.

An ace on the flop took the drama out of this hand, and Goncuoglu collected his chips before graciously pulling $20 out of his wallet to tip the dealer for the favorable result.

Bin Liang was the next player eliminated, all-in with AK going up against QQ. No Ace or King arrived, and Liang was out in 13th place.

Mokedi, O’Leary and Liang each received a $1,350 payday.
