Hieu Nguyen Eliminated in 9th Place ($75,265 AUD)

Dan O'Hair

Level 19 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Josh Hutchins opened to 160,000 with K♠Q♣ from early position and was three-bet to 400,000 by Michael Egan in the hijack.

Hieu Nguyen then shoved for his last 1,200,000 from the cutoff, which got a fold from Hutchins and a quick call from Egan to be put at risk.

Hieu Nguyen: J♠J♣ All in
Michael Egan: Q♥Q♦

Nguyen found his big pair pipped, and the 8♦K♦6♥2♦9♥ runout kept Egan's queens best to eliminate Nguyen in ninth place.
