Men Nguyen Stays Alive

Level 6 : 200/400, 0 ante
Men Nguyen
Men Nguyen

A short while earlier, we saw Men Nguyen bet 2,300 on a {j-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{j-Clubs} board and get shoved on. Nguyen folded.

We picked up the action later on a {k-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{j-Diamonds} board with three players in the hand. It had checked to Nguyen who moved all in for 4,200. The second player tanked so long that the clock was called on him before he eventually folded.

The third player in the hand asked for a count before calling.

Nguyen showed {a-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}{k-Spades}{5-Clubs}, sliding the two diamonds forward for a flush.

His opponent showed {a-Spades}{k-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{7-Spades}.

"I had king-five for two pair as well," he said as the dealer pushed him the pot.

Jesse Chinni Feeling Good at Dinner Break

Level 6 : 200/400, 0 ante

With a stack of 94,000, Jesse Chinni says that there "won't be many players above him" in the chip counts.

Chinni has been a big stack for a while and we asked him whether there was a big pot or just a steady accumulation.

"I won a big hand with the worst flush possible.

"I bet big on the river and he called with I think the nut flush but he didn't show.

"I've been playing pretty much everything since I got here ten days ago."

Dana Belman Flops a Royal Flush; Rivers Quads; Eliminates an Opponent

Level 7 : 250/500, 0 ante
Dana Belman
Dana Belman

On a {a-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{j-Hearts} board, Dana Belman and another opponent both checked.

The turn was the {9-Diamonds}, and his opponent check-called a bet of 2,000 from Belman.

The river was the {10-Clubs}, and his opponent checked again. Belman bet 3,000, and his opponent moved all in. Belman called.

Belman: {k-Hearts}{q-Hearts}{10-Spades}{10-Diamonds}
Opponent: {a-Spades}{a-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}

The all-in player had top boat, the third-best hand on this runout. Meanwhile, Belman had not just the second-best hand (quad tens) but the absolute nuts with a Royal Flush. Cue videos and pictures galore of the amazing runout.

JC Tran

With 4,750 in the pot and the board reading {J-Spades}{5-Hearts}{3-Clubs}, JC Tran was in the cutoff and heads-up against a player in early position, who checked. Tran made a pot-sized bet, and his opponent went into the tank briefly.

"Do you have something, bro?" asked Tran's opponent.

"4,750," replied Tran, coldly.

He mucked shortly thereafter, and Tran took the pot.
