Very lucky man.

The flop read {8-Spades}

{8-Spades}

{6-Diamonds}

{10-Clubs}

and Lam Son Nguyen was first to act, Richard Grace behind him. The action went bet-raise-shove-call, and it went that way very quickly. Then they were on their backs, Nguyen's tournament life on the line.

Grace: {8-Hearts}

{8-Hearts}

{8-Diamonds}

for a set
Nguyen: {7-Spades}

{7-Spades}

{9-Diamonds}

for a straight

Turn: Bink! {8-Clubs}

{8-Clubs}

for quads, leaving Nguyen drawing dead

River: a completely irrelevant {7-Diamonds}

{7-Diamonds}

Nguyen took the beat very well, and Grace really did look very sorry. He's up to 190,000.
