Level 10 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

Thanat Chinphanitkit eventually lost the battle with his short stack while Hamza Miri confirmed the elimination of Saulius Veckys. The Lithuanian min-raised to 2,400 from under the gun and picked up several callers including Thang Duc Nguyen. On a flop, only Nguyen called the continuation bet before snap-calling the shove of the Lithuanian on a turn with pocket queens.

Veckys had aces and failed to spike his two outer.

Nguyen soon after moved all in on the flop to force out Adnan Dizdarevic and Miri joked "flush draw or queens again?" Nguyen didn't show his cards this time.
