Paul Nugent raised to 225,000 from under the gun, leaving himself with just 30,000 chips behind. Tobias Kirby reraised from the big blind and the rest of Nugent's chips went in the middle.
Paul Nugent: J♠10♣
Tobias Kirby: Q♦J♣
Nugent found himself in an uphill battle and the flop of A♠6♥6♦ was no help. The 2♦ on the turn gave a few chop outs but the 5♥ on the river was not meant to be for Nugent.
