.
Shultz sat motionless for around 30 seconds and then looked over at Nguyen’s stack (he had 350,000 behind) before sliding out a bet of 120,000. Nguyen thought it over for roughly two minutes and made the call.
The 
turn saw Shultz hit the think tank for around an minute before deciding to bet another 120,000, which Nguyen again called.
The 
river saw Shultz bet more quickly, but the sizing remained the same 120,000, leaving himself 63,000 behind. Nguyen made the call and Shultz tabled 
for a pair of queens.
Nguyen triumphantly tabled 
to scoop the pot and he climbed to 850,000 while a clearly irate Shultz muttered profanities under his breath.

Junghwan Oh limped in the cutoff and Victor Chong made the call from the button and Kenneth Buck completed from the small blind.

Jongyoung Moon:
Junghwan Oh:

Moon climbed to over 200,000 and while Oh dropped a little he still had 440,000.
