Nguyen Movin' on Up

Binh Nguyen once again has more than 3.0 million chips, courtesy of Cornel Andrew Cimpan. Cimpan, sitting in the blinds, called a raise to 200,000 made by Binh Nguyen. Both checked the {8-Clubs} {J-Hearts} {Q-Hearts} flop. The turn brought a third heart, the {9-Hearts} and a bet of 250,000 from Nguyen. Cimpan called to see a fourth heart, the {7-Hearts}, hit the river. Nguyen took the pot down with a bet of 350,000.

The crowd is getting loopy now. After the earlier "Ole, ole ole ole" chants, we've had one guy shouting "We believe in Jesus" and another group chanting "B! I! N! H! BINH!" They then catcalled at a buxom, blonde cocktail waitress who appeared on set briefly to give the players some water.
