Level 20
: 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante
Anh Van Nguyen was under the gun when he opened to 18,000, and Christian Kruel three-bet a few seats over. When it came back to Van Nguyen, he shoved all in for just over 200,000, and Kruel quickly made the call to put himself all in for 178,000 total. Cards up, gents.
Showdown
Van Nguyen: 
Kruel: 
The board ran through 
, and Kruel scores the big double up to cripple Van Nguyen down to just 17,000 chips.
A full 8,000 of those had to go into the big blind the following hand, and Van Nguyen put the last of his chips in when Vitaly Lunkin raised. Lunkin's 
was a favorite against Van Nguyen's 
, and the 
board is the last the Canadian will see today. He's out in 42nd place.
