The turn was the {9-Clubs}

{9-Clubs}

and Abolins checked to Nguyen who bet out 11,000. Abolins then asked for a count of Nguyen's stack before check-raising all in. Nguyen made a quick call for his tournament life.

Abolins tabled {K-Spades}

{K-Spades}

{K-Hearts}

for an overpair, however Nguyen had flopped a set with his {7-Diamonds}

{7-Diamonds}

{7-Spades}

. The river landed the {8-Spades}
