BATB Event #16 (Day 2): Justin Harvell Runs Into Nguyen Pocket Aces, Out In 7th Place ($3,500)

2018 Battles At The Beach
Event #16 | $360 No Limit Hold'em ($100,000 GTD)

Level 26 (Blinds 20,000/40,000/5,000)
Total Entries: 367
Players Remaining: 6


Justin Harvell (Nashville, TN) lost almost half of his stack, just one level into the final table, eventually running into the pocket aces of John Nguyen.

On the money bubble, it looked like this tournament was going to be all about Justin Harvell and Matthew Zarcadoolas.  Matthew ended up losing close to half his stack on the bubble, but Justin continued to trend in the right direction.  At the final table, Harvell would lose a good portion of his stack, when he doubled up Brian Haines.  About ten minutes later, he would shove over an open from John Nguyen, who made the call to put him at risk:

Nguyen: A♠ A♣
Harvell: A K♠

Runout: 7 3 2♣ 5♣ 5♠

Justin was able to gain some chop outs on the turn, but would be eliminated in seventh place, once the board paired.  This result was Justin's fourth final table of the year, bringing his 2018 earnings over $100,000.
