Water????
Men Nguyen is calling for cocktails and wants Jeffrey Papola to join in.
"C'mon!" Nguyen blurted at him. "Drink with me!"
"I am," Papola smiled holding up his bottle of water.
"Water?!?!" Nguyen squealed.
Another Dark Check
Jeffrey Papola opened to 160,000 with the button and Men Nguyen called.
Nguyen checked dark, again, and the flop fell 
. Papola bet 200,000 and Nguyen moved all in. Papola folded and Nguyen showed the

"That is why I check dark baby!!!" Nguyen shouted.
In the words of Peyton Manning, Nguyen is a little "liquored up."

. Papola continued for 200,000 and Nguyen instantly called.

Heads Up Déjà Vu
Jeff Papola and Men Nguyen are now heads up for the bracelet. Both have been in this exact spot in the last two weeks. Men defeated Brandon Adams heads up to win his seventh career bracelet in the $10,000 Seven Card Stud Championship. Only four days ago, at the final table of the last 6-max event, Jeff Papola was in the same seat he occupies now. He lost heads up to William Haydon after outlasting 1,243 other players. In this 6-max, he's survived 566 players to get one more shot at the glory.
Nguyen, on the other hand, has a a chance to become this year's first double bracelet winner. He's already locked up a three-way tie for WSOP Player of the Year, but if he wins, he'll pass Michael Mizrachi and James Dempsey and become the man to beat for the summer's top honor.
Heads Up
Men "The Master" Nguyen and Jeffrey "jpapola" Papola are now heads up for $667,433 and a coveted World Series of Poker bracelet.
Here are the counts:
Papola - 6,500,000 chips
Nguyen - 1,980,000 chips
Mark Radoja Eliminated in 3rd Place ($262,902)
Mark Radoja opened to 175,000 on the button and Jeffrey "jpapola" Papola called from the big blind.
The flop fell 
and Papola checked to Radoja who continued for 225,000. Papola check-raised to 575,000 and Radoja moved all in. Papola quickly called.
Showdown
Radoja: 
Papola: [tc 9h}
The turn brought the giving Radoja more outs, but the 
on the river did not improve his hand and he was eliminated from the tournament.
You would've thought Men Nguyen won the tournament or at least the hand the way he was celebrating after the river.
Radoja's rail was none too happy with this and yelled a few mean things at Nguyen. The tournament director suggested that the rail leave, and they did.
Radoja headed to the cage to collect $262,902 for his 3rd place finish and Nguyen is now heads up with Jeffrey Papola for the bracelet.
Radoja Three-Bets Papola
Jeff Papola raised to 160,000, and Mark Radoja quickly made it 385,000 to go. That was enough for him to take it down. Papola has a bit of the wind knocked out of him since Men cracked his aces, and hasn't been willing to engage in a big fight since.
