: 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Kenny Nguyen jammed all in from middle position and the player on the button reraised all in, showing 
after the players in the blinds folded.
"I got that beat!" said Nguyen, turning over 
. "Keep the flop low!" he added.
The dealer mostly complied, bringing a flop of 
. The turn 
added four more outs to his opponent's total.
"Low!" he added again, and the dealer complied once more as the river came 
. "Lucky me. Thirty-three K I believe."
Nguyen was right and his opponent paid it off to result in Nguyen earning the double to stay alive.

All of the chips got into the middle preflop between Sean Yu in the small blind and Brian Heeb, who was under the gun. Yu was at risk.
Sean Yu: 
Brian Heeb: 
Yu needed to improve to stay alive and the flop 
was all he would need as the turn and river 
completed the runout to score the double.
Despite the lost pot, Heeb has amassed a huge stack and still has over 500,000, making him the likely chip leader nearing the final level of play for the night.
