Level 24
: Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante
Teun Mulder, holding 6♠6♦, raised to 1,000,000 from the small blind and folded out Alex Kulev in the big blind.
Christopher Nguyen, with K♠J♦, jammed for 3,175,000 and took down the pot.
Yuri Dzivielevski raised to 1,000,000 from under the gun and Nguyen defended his big blind.
The Q♠J♥6♦ flop checked through to the 5♣ turn, where Nguyen jammed for 2,925,000. Dzivielevski called to put Nguyen at risk.
Christopher Nguyen: 10♠9♠
Yuri Dzivielevski: A♠K♠
Nguyen went with his open-ended straight draw, but was behind Dzivielevski's Big Slick.
Nguyen needed a king, nine or eight but was ousted in fifth place after the dealer completed the board with the 2♥ river.
