Double Trouble for Sinh Nguyen

Disaster just struck for Sinh Nguyen in a battle of the blinds against the lone Irishman left in the tournament, Sylvester 'Vesty' Geoghegan.

On a board showing {A-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{3-Spades}, Nguyen checked to Vesty from the small blind and the Irishman led out with a bet. Sinh then announced a raise and proceeded to move all of his chips into the middle. Vesty snap-called, tabling pocket sixes for a set and Sinh, visibily angry, dropped everyone's favorite four letter curseword at least three times (resulting in yet another F-bomb penalty; the tournament has seen at least four so far).

Nguyen would improve to three aces by the river, but the extra ace gave Vesty a full boat and earned him the monster pot. Nguyen was left with just a few thousand chips after the hand, while Vesty stacked up well over 125,000.
