Toan Nguyen Eliminated in 2nd Place ($67,000)
Level 32
: Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante
Sasha Sabbaghian began the hand with a raise to 800,000 on the button. Toan Nguyen responded with an all-in and was called by Sabbaghian to put Nguyen at risk.
Toan Nguyen: K♣6♥
Sasha Sabbaghian: 8♥8♣
Sabbaghian held the lead going into the runout. The 7♣4♣3♥ flop did not change the standings, but it did give Nguyen some additional outs with a straight draw.
The A♣ increased the drama as Nguyen gained a flush draw, but the J♦ river was a brick to eliminate Nguyen.
