Hand #104: Khoa Nguyen Eliminated in 5th Place ($110,663)
Hand #104: Travis Rice raised to 350,000 from under the gun. Action came to Khoa Nguyen who flatted from the button, prompting Chris Drake to three-bet ship for 2.545 million from the small blind. Action came back to Rice and he announced a call. Nguyen went into the tank.
About two minutes passed before Nguyen called off for his own tournament life of about 2.8 million.
Rice: 
Drake: 
Nguyen: 
Rice led with his jacks heading to the community cards and had a chance to score a double elimination. Drake quickly took the lead on the 
flop, though, making trip aces. The 
rolled off on fourth street, giving Nguyen a flush draw, but it did not come through as the 
hit the river. Drake scooped the main pot while Rice was awarded the change from Nguyen's stack.
Nguyen collected $110,663 for his fifth place finish.
