Shriki asked to see a card and Hansen turned over the 
.
"Do you want to see the other one?" asked Hansen.
Shriki confirmed he did and Hansen turned over the for pocket aces.
"I should have jammed the turn," said Shriki.

Shriki then said he had jacks but by that time it couldn't be confirmed if that was the case with his cards in the muck.

Horrific Beat for Nguyen
Level 4
: 100/200, 200 ante
Linda Minh Nguyen just went out on a two-outer and she couldn't believe her luck.
She opened for 2,000 into a pot of a little more after the 
came on the flop. Toni Vuolle jammed all-in for around 20,000 which more than covered the 15,000 Nguyen had left behind.
Nguyen made the call and was far ahead with 
to her opponent's .
It was looking good for Nguyen to double-up after the 
came on the turn. However, she was completely stunned after the came on the river to give her opponent the set and the pot.
After taking everything in, Nguyen took pictures of the board.
"This happens every time," said Nguyen before she left the tournament area.
Meanwhile, we noticed Morten Klein at the table. The Norwegian player who has more than $900,000 in career tournament cashes isn't known around the Estonain poker scene but made the trip in part to celebrate his 60th birthday.
