Nguyen Has Dream Start
Level 12
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
The action was caught on a turn of 2♦J♠8♥4♥, where Manh Nguyen's stack of 100,500 flew in with a pot already amounting to 80,000 chips. Mark Ioli had looked him up with the covering stack and the cards were tabled.
Manh Nguyen: K♦J♦J♣10♣ 
Mark Ioli: A♥A♣Q♣3♠
Nguyen had to fade an ace or five to double up, and he did so when the river paired the board with the 4♦ to give him a full house as he ended up with nearly five starting stacks after registering late.
