Hands #1-5: Nguyen Remains Active

Level 29 : 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante

Hand #1: Khoa Nguyen opened to 275,000 from middle position and Rhett Trusler called from the button. The flop came {Q-Spades}{3-Spades}{2-Clubs} and Nguyen led out to 325,000 and took the pot down when Trusler folded.

Hand #2: Travis Rice completed the small blind and Jonathan Gaviao checked his option. Rice would bet the minimum on the {K-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{6-Hearts} flop and Gaviao would quickly fold.

Hand #3: Kevin Eyster opened from the cutoff for 160,000 and Gaviao reraised to 440,000 from the small blind. Eyster called. The flop came {A-Spades}{6-Hearts}{3-Clubs} and Gaviao led out for 350,000 leading to an Eyster fold.

Hand #4: Nguyen opened from early position to 160,000 and was called by Eyster in the hijack and Kong Li in the big blind. The flop came {10-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} and Li checked. Nguyen bet 220,000, Eyster folded, and Li made the call. The two would check the {Q-Hearts} turn but not before Nguyen would query Li as to if he had a jack or not. The river was the {8-Hearts} and Li led out for 320,000. Nguyen would tank for about a minute before making the call and his {A-Hearts}{10-Spades} would take the pot as Li held {A-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}.

Hand #5: Kevin Eyster would take the blinds and antes with a raise to 160,000 from middle position.
