Event 1: Men Nguyen Doesn't
Shortly after becoming crippled in an earlier hand, we watched Men "The Master" Nguyen make his stand with an all-in shove from early position.
With his last 5,600 in the middle and at risk, Nguyen watched as a player in the cutoff re-shoved for 35,500. When a second player opted to do the same, Nguyen knew he was in trouble, and when both opponent's tabled

, "The Master" found his 
to be far behind.
"I can't believe this..." Nguyen said as he saw the bad news. "They both have a real hand... always have a hand."
A final rollout of 
left all three players with ace-high, but the king kickers did the trick, sending Nguyen home in the latter stages of Day 1A.
