Thanh Cao Nguyen and Hyunsik Nam

Hyunsik Nam raised to 2,000 from under the gun and Thanh Cao Nguyen defended the big blind to a flop of Q ♦️ 8 ♦️ 3 ♣️ on which Nguyen check-raised from 2,500 to 6,000.

Nam called and also called another 15,000 on the 4 ♣️ turn. The A ♥️ on the river saw Nguyen bet 25,000 and Nam folded, revealing his J ♦️ 10 ♦️ for a missed gutshot straight flush draw while his opponent exposed the Q ♠️ only.

One table over, Alexander Allen won a big chunk off Alfie Adam at the same time.

Player Chip Count
Alexander Allen 150,000

Hyunsik Nam 77,500
Alfie Sdam 70,000
