Christopher Nguyen was in the hijack and raised to 160,000. Artur Martirosian three-bet to 680,000 in the big blind, and Nguyen spent one time bank before moving in his stack of 3,480,000 in response.

Martirosian snap-called to put his opponent at risk.

Christopher Nguyen: KQ All in
Artur Martirosian: AA

The 527 flop presented Nguyen with a flush draw, and the K turn gave him even more outs against Martirosian's aces.

The Q made Nguyen two pair, cracking the aces of Martirosian to double up and leave the former chipleader short.
