After 15mins of the last level Nazgul and TripleAceIRL were send to the rails.
First TripleAceIRL pushs allin for 12k, HJ calls, Button 3-bets, SB 4-bets allin and Button calls. This action looks not good for a pair of 8s ofTripleAceIRL. He plays against TT and AK. Flop T97 give him some hope, but Turn und River blanks and he is out.
Some minutes later Nazgul pushs allin UTG for 15 BB with AQ and get a call from another Short Stack in SB with QQ. KJx-Flop give him some additional outs, but K on Turn and J on river costs him nearly his complete stack.
With 2,7k he calls the raise from CO in BB and is allin. Again he needs some help with A7s again A8s. Flop 345 gives him again some more outs and 5 turn give at least a chance to a split pot. But Q on river bring up the end of Nazgul in the ME.
