Wang Trips Nguyen to the Rail
Level 19
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Gang Wang moved all in for 120,000 under the gun and Khanh Nguyen stuck in his last 71,000 from the hijack. Mario Trattou was in the small blind and took a few moments before folding, later saying he had two eights.
Khanh Nguyen: 4♣4♥ 
Gang Wang: A♠9♠
The 9♥2♣Q♦ flop gave Wang the lead with nines, while the 9♣ turn improved him to trips. "That's why you fold eights. No eight," Trattou pleaded, and the river was the 10♣ as Trattou celebrated more than Wang, who was the one to score the knockout.
