False Hope

Van Nguyen pushed her last 20,000 in with {6-Diamonds}{6-Clubs} and was called by Greg Alexander, who had {J-Clubs}{J-Hearts}.

The flop came {10-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{6-Spades}, giving Nguyen a set and a big lead. But runner-runner eights gave Alexander the bigger boat, and Nguyen's day was done.

Alexander is up over 100,000.
