Gibson Eliminates Tran

We caught the action on a board reading {4-Spades}{Q-Clubs}{8-Spades}{10-Hearts} when Lawrie Gibson had moved all in and Nghi Van Tran called off for right around 300,000. "Good call," Gibson said, "You're ahead."

Showdown

Gibson{K-Diamonds}{J-Spades}

Indeed, Tran had made a good call for his tournament life as he was out in front. As he was celebrating with a walk away from the table, the dealer burned and out out the {A-Spades} on the river, filling Gibson's open-ended straight draw. Tran returned to the table, and let an expletive slip upon discovering the bad news. "Good call, buddy, unlucky," someone at the table said before Tran exited the tournament area.

Meanwhile, Jeffrey Fielder was eliminated at the same table just two hands later, though not by Gibson.
