Dinh Doubles Before Break
Level 45
: Blinds 3,000,000/6,000,000, 6,000,000 ante
Justin Fawcett raised to 16,000,000 from the big blind. Thai Dinh made the call.
The flop came 4♣4♠2♣ and Fawcett bet 22,000,000. Dinh came over the top with an all-in for 75,000,000 total. Fawcett didn't hesitate to make the call.
Thai Dinh: Q♦2♥
Justin Fawcett: 10♣9♣
Dinh was ahead with a pair of deuces, but had to fade two overcards and a flush draw. Fawcett missed when the 8♦8♠ fell.
Dinh, who had built the biggest stack he has had in the tournament, reached for the gold bracelet and slid it closer to his seat.
"Move that thing a little closer," he said. "This bracelet is mine."
