Cahail Doubles through Nguyen

We've already had our first player move all in. Action folded to Xuan Nguyen in the small blind. Nguyen, you may remember, was the player who slowrolled pocket aces all in preflop back on Day 2. He hasn't garnered much sympathy from the players, the rail or the media since then. He completed the small blind before Blake Cahail raised to 61,000. Nguyen moved all in and Cahail snap-called.

Nguyen: {Q-Diamonds} {8-Clubs}
Cahail: {A-Diamonds} {Q-Clubs}

The flop fell {6-Clubs} {10-Hearts} {9-Clubs}, no help to either player but giving Nguyen a gutshot draw. That draw filled when the {J-Diamonds} hit the turn, but Cahail made a bigger straight with the {K-Spades} that hit the river to double up to 576,000. Nguyen took the hit to 842,000.
