Nguyen Wins, Lowery Out
Phillip Lowery in the big blind and My Nguyen in middle position had already built a pot of 1,400,000 when the flop dropped 8♥Q♥2♠. After action was checked to him, Nguyen fired 375,000. Lowery got a whole tower of chips and pushed it in with the intent of raising but the total worth of the chips were only 525,000 which was not a legal raise.
The floor was called to make a ruling and it was ruled a call but a second opinion was asked. The final ruling was that it was just a call.
The hand continued with a 2♣ turn. Lowery fired 1,000,000 prompting Nguyen to shove all-in for 5,500,000. Lowery covered made the call.
Phillip Lowery: Q♦10♦
My Nguyen: A♣A♥
Lowery hit top pair but couldn't beat Nguyens rockets. The dealer completed the board with a 7♣. Lowery left the table as Nguyen scooped the pot.
