Event 8: DiBella Busts, Nguyen Leads

$500 + $60 Deeper Stack NLH (Re-Entry)

Blinds 8k/16k/2k 

 Johnson is "Nguyen-ing"

Players are back from break and still buzzing about a 1.2 million chip pot from the previous level that sends John DiBella (New Rochelle, NY) to the rail.

DiBella raises from the button to 32k (blind 6k/12k) and Johnson Nguyen (Philadelphia, PA) calls from the big blind.

Both players check the 9-9-x flop before the fireworks after a 10 on the turn.

Nguyen checks, DiBella bets 37k, Nguyen makes it 105k, DiBella moves all in for 300k more, Nguyen calls.

DiBella 89 (trip 9s)
Nguyen: K9 (trip 9s, better kicker)

The river is a blank, DiBella busts and Nguyen adds 1.2 million to his stack.  Nguyen is the chip leader at 2.6 million.
