D.J. Alexander Eliminated in 20th Place by Phong Nguyen ($18,300)

From early position, Phong Nguyen makes a big opening raise to 50,000 — he’ll later say it was because Timothy Wilson was in the big blind — and D.J. Alexander reraises all in for 192,000 from the next seat over. Nguyen calls. “I have a big hand,” he says, tabling , and Alexander shows .

The board comes , and Alexander is eliminated.

Phong Nguyen – 1,200,000 (75 bb)
D.J. Alexander – Eliminated in 20th place ($18,300)
