We came into the action with nearly 4,000 chips already in the pot and the board reading ![]()
![]()
![]()
![]()
. Soi Nguyen was first to act and he took that opportunity to bet out 2,400 chips. The only other player in the hand took a few seconds to think about it before throwing in a call.
"I got the nuts," Nguyen said before turning over the ![]()
.
The other player mucked and Nguyen scooped in the big pot.

There aren't a ton of tables in the black section of the Pavilion room as that is the first section to break, but that doesn't mean there aren't a few notables shuffling chips over there. We also spotted Christian Harder and Kevin Saul take their seats in the white section.

After losing a few chips to start the day, Bernard Lee has started finding some momentum after eliminating a player.
When we came to the table, the board read ![]()
![]()
![]()
and Lee had a bet of 75 in front of him. A player with position on Lee put in a reraise to 250 and all other players folded. Lee moved all in only to be snapped called by the other player.
Lee had ![]()
, for the nut flush, while the other player had flopped a set with ![]()
. He was unable to fill up on the
river though and Lee scooped the pot pushing him to nearly 4,000 chips.
