Nguyen Backdoors The Nuts To Stay Alive

Level 26 : 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Thad McNulty saw action fold to him in the cutoff and open-jammed for 915,000 with {a-Spades}{q-Clubs}. Luan Nguyen was in the small blind with {a-Clubs}{j-Clubs} and called all in for less.

McNuty was able to fade jacks, but running clubs on a board of {2-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{9-Clubs} backed Nguyen into the nuts and scored him the double, bringing him to just shy of 1 million while McNulty is now the shortest stack in the tournament with six still remaining.
