Thanh Cao Nguyen
Early into the new blind level, Lester Edoc opened to 325,000 with the 10 ♥️ 10 ♣️ and was called by John Matsuda with the K ♦️ Q ♣️ and Thanh Cao Nguyen in the big blind, who had the A ♣️ 9 ♥️ .
They checked the A ♦️ J ♦️ 5 ♥️ flop to the 5 ♠️ turn. Nguyen bet his top pair for 275,000 and forced one fold whereas Matsuda stuck around. The 2 ♣️ river changed nothing and Nguyen bet 500,000 to force out Matsuda.
