This hand was pretty uninteresting until the river, so we'll pick it up there. Heads up, Thang Duc Nguyen and Alexey Rybin watched the dealer fill out a board of . When Rybin checked the river, Nguyen made a standard-sized bet of 140,000. After a moment of thought, Rybin check-raised all in over the top to put Nguyen to a decision for his last 530,000 chips. Nguyen thought it over long and hard before finally yielding to the bet and surrendering his hand into the muck.
Nguyen is left with just about ten big blinds with which to wage some short-stack war.
Giuseppe Diep raised under the gun and it folded all the way around to Mohsen Tayfeh in the big blind who pushed all in. Then he sat back in his seat. "Nothing I can do now," he said, "Your decision."
Diep squirmed for a while, holding his big headphones tight over his ears to block out the gentle murmur of the tournament area, and eventually gave it up.
Jacob Carlsson raised preflop to 115,000 before Allan Bække 3-bet to 270,00. Carlsson decided to move all-in for about 1.7 million and Bække immediately folded. The Dane does not seem to be showing any sign that he will be slowing down the aggression though.
