Brett Chalhoub - 25th Place
On a board showing {5-Hearts} {J-Clubs} {J-Hearts}, Minh Nguyen bet out 40,000 and Brett Chalhoub moved all in. Nguyen made the call and tabled {K-Hearts} {10-Hearts}; Chalhoub turned over two red nines.

The {10-Clubs} came on the turn giving Nguyen the lead and a virtual stranglehold on the hand. The {5-Clubs} on the river sealed the deal and Chalhoub settled for 25th place prize money.

Meanwhile, Minh Nguyen now has right around 360,000 in chips.
