# [Nlemchi Eliminates Nguyen (1C)](https://blog.texascardhouse.com/houston-tournaments/nlemchi-eliminates-nguyen-1c)

On blinds of 3,000/6,000/6,000, Ike Nlemchi opened to 15,000 from UTG. He was called by UTG+1 before Vincent Nguyen moved all-in for exactly 15,000 from the small blind. The big blind called as well.

With Nguyen all-in and three players sharing a dry side pot, Nlemchi bet 20,000 on a flop of 9d4c2s. The UTG+1 player called and the player in the big blind folded.

The Jd hit the turn. Nlemchi announced all-in and broke down his stack of 78,000. The UTG+1 player folded and Nlemchi tabled black kings.

Nguyen: AdTc (all-in)  
Nlemchi: KsKc  
Board: 9d4c2sJd2d

Nguyen was live to an ace but the 2d completed the board and Nguyen was eliminated on the soft money bubble.

16 players remain. Hand-for-hand will begin with 14 players remaining.
