Nguyen Bullies The Short Stacks
Soi Nguyen raised it up on the button to 65,000, and Lynda Tran was next to act. She put in a three bet to 200,000, and it was on Edmund Liu. He tanked for about 30 seconds, before putting a call in, and Nguyen also made the call.
The three handed flop went all hearts: 
. Both Tran and Liu checked to Nguyen, who fired 275,000 into the middle. Tran gave her hand up after a few moments of thought, and it didn't take Liu very long to fold either.
After that hand, Nguyen is back into the lead with 2.62 million, while Liu and Tran both fall to 15 big blinds.
