Takashi Ogura Eliminated in 19th Place ($20,129)

Chad Holloway

Owen Crowe potted in early position only to have Sam Stein repot. Takashi Ogura then called off from the big blind and Crowe got all his money in as well.

Stein: {A-Clubs} {K-Clubs}
Crowe: {8-Spades} {8-Diamonds}
Ogura: {J-Spades} {J-Diamonds}

Ogura held the best hand preflop, but he quickly went from first to worst when the flop came down {8-Spades} {A-Diamonds} {3-Clubs} . Crowe had flopped a set to take a commanding lead, one he held as the {10-Hearts} hit the turn followed by the {6-Hearts} on the river. Crowe tripled on the hand while Ogura was eliminated in 19th place.
