John Hoang Eliminated In 3rd Place ($48,138)
John Hoang has just been eliminated from the tournament in a brutal fashion by Peder Berge.
On third street, Hoang brought in, then called a completion from Berge.
On fourth street, Berge check-called a bet from Hoang, who was getting short.
Fifth street witnessed Berge take the opportunity to bet first, which got a call from Hoang.
Berge then bet again on sixth street, and Hoang frustratedly smashed his last stack of chips forward to put his tournament life at risk.

Hoang feared he may have been dead to trip jacks, but was thrilled to see his rolled up fours were actually the best hand.
Hoang opened an inconsequential 
on seventh street, but then Berge slowly peeked at his final card and said, "I have three aces" as he flipped up the 
to drive a proverbial dagger into Hoang, ending his tournament with a horrific bad beat.
