We came upon this hand on the turn between Eric Baldwin and Bona Sar. Action was on the turn with the board showing . Sar bet 40,000 and Baldwin tossed in a stack of green T25,000 chips - enough to put Sar all in.
Sar called quickly and Baldwin moaned, "I guess that's not good for me."

Recently we have seen Huy Nguyen be on the wrong end of some large pots. Dejected but not out we saw Nguyen get all in and at risk by the likes of Robert Jin.
Nguyen:
Jin:
It was basically a race going to the flop, but a on the flop gave Nguyen everything he could imagine holding two pair. A on the turn was it and Nguyen was awarded the pot. A meaningless fell on the river, but it was so irrelevant we don't even remember what it was.
The party is over, the laughing has been replaced by the shuffling of chips and the camaraderie is gone. The remaining field has realized how far along they've come. It's a race to the final table now and these players would gladly bust their neighbor.
A five-figure payday is not too far off for these players. Action has tightened up and it's a decidedly serious tone surrounding the tournament, a stark difference from the madness just 24 hours ago.
Christian Harder moved all in from the button for 75,500, and action folded to Maria Ho in the big blind. After a few moments of quiet contemplation Ho announced call.
Harder:
Ho:
Harder held a stranglehold on the hand going to the flop, having the over pair to the twos. A flop didn't bring any hope for Ho who still needed to snag a two to steal the hand away. A on the turn just made the reality further sink in, and the on the river made it real. Harder doubled up and is now at the highest point he has been at all day. Ho still possesses an extremely maneuverable chip stack and looks to have a lot more play in her.
