Stern needed to dodge a plethora of outs against the seven-time bracelet winner but the

river ended his tournament while Nguyen remains among the top stacks.
The board read ![]()
![]()
and there was about 100,000 in the pot. After the dealer put the

Skousen then started talking to and eyeing Nguyen, who gave no response until Skousen mucked his hand.
Nguyen then handed his cards to Skousen, who, after seeing what they were, flung them into the muck.
The dealer retrieved them and revealed the ![]()
for a turned set.

Marko Doljevic was left with just 10,000 in chips after posting the big blind ante and more or less forced all in after posting another big blind. After Junxing Meng had raised in late position, Alexandre Henry shoved all in from the small blind, Doljevic called all in, and Meng folded.

Oliver Klar was first to act and moved all in for 109,000. Molly Mossey, who made the final table of the 2018 WSOP Ladies Event, shoved all in for 91,000 from middle position. From the hijack, Devin Volta came over the top all in to put both players at risk.

Owner of one of the top stacks in Day 2c, Phuoc Nguyen, is getting a combination of props and envious comments from his tablemates as apparently he's been dealt a number of monster hands in Level 1.
"He's really lucky - he's getting kings, aces, kings..." said neighbour Carlin Skousen.
"I've had no action!" Nguyen responded with a smile.
"That's more hands than I've seen in a week," he continued (backed up by Ryan Fairgrieve saying, "Me too!").
"It doesn't help that he's good, too," added Skousen.
A mid-position open to 15,000 from Jarred Gabin was called by his neighbour Steven Wolansky, before folding round to button Anthony Whalen. Whalen moved all in for just shy of 100,000, Gabin folded but Wolansky called as fast as it is humanly possible to call. He had the ![]()
while Whalen had run into a tough spot with ![]()
. No outdraws followed, and another seat is open.
