Erik Nomberg (Dix Hills, NY)

Erik Nomberg (Dix Hills, NY) was just able to recoup the chips he lost to David Gelley, knocking out Jaki Cohen in pretty gross fashion.  On the turn of a board reading 10♥ 8♠ 2♦ 3♠, Cohen was all-in for just over 100,000, with Nomberg making the call.  Jackie rolled over his 10♠ 9♥, and was well ahead of Erik's Q♦ 3♦.

"I don't want a queen, I want the three," Nomberg said, just before watching the deal peel off the 3♣ on the river.  Cohen took the beat in stride, and headed to the tournament podium to collect his payout ($1,118).  

The next break will be the player's (45) minute dinner break, with updated chip count from the field to be posted at that point.
