The details of this hand escaped us as it unfolded fairly quickly when our attention was focused on the other table, but we do know that Huy Nguyen just lost a big pot and shipped about half his stack to Yung Hwang.
We didn't see Nguyen's hand as he mucked after calling a river bet and seeing Hwang's 
. Nonetheless, the result is Nguyen took a major hit to his stack while Hwang added to his already massive stack.

Mark Bonsack raised from the hijack only to have Ryan Eriquezzo move all in for around 200,000 from the small blind. Bonsack barely had him covered and made the call.
Showdown
Bonsack: 
Eriquezzo: 
Bonsack was in great shape and a favorite to eliminate Eriquezzo while essentially doubling his own stack. Unfortunately for him, all that hope and excitement came crashing down on the 
flop when Eriquezzo hit his jack. Bonsack still had outs to either a king or ten, but it wasn't in the cards as the 
appeared on the turn followed by the 
on the river.
Bonsack was left with just 3,000 after the hand, which disappeared the very next hand to Yung Hwang. Bonsack finished in 12th place and earned $31,855 for his efforts here in the 2012 National Championship.

Amanda Musumeci raised from early position only to have Eugene Katchalov move all in from the small blind. Musumeci made the call and had her opponent dominated.
Showdown
Musumeci: 
Katchalov: 
The 
flop kept Musumeci in the lead but provided Katchalov with some chop options, while the 
turn gave him even more out to a wheel. Unfortunately for Katchalov, the river was no help and he was eliminated in 13th place, good for $26,439.

Sam Stein raised to 20,000 from early position and cleared the field all the way around to Brian Rast, who defended from the big blind. The latter proceeded to check the 
flop and watched as Stein bet 22,000. Rast thought for a few moments and then announced he was all in, prompting Stein to snap-call.
Showdown
Stein:
Rast:
Both players had flopped top pair, but Stein's ace kicker had him out in front. Neither the 
turn nor 
river would help Rast, and he sent his stack of 175,000 over to Stein.
