by Christian Zetzsche • August 26, 2026 - 2:05 PM

In a previous hand, Viet An Nguyen had barreled through a board of 9 ♠️ 6 ♥️ 4 ♦️ Q ♣️ A ♠️ and jammed the river into Kei Sugita, who opted to fold with around 160,000 behind.

Sugita then pushed soon after from the button and was up against Nguyen, of course.

Kei Sugita: A ♥️ K ♠️

Viet An Nguyen: A ♠️ 2 ♥️

With the 9 ♠️ 7 ♦️ 2 ♠️ 5 ♦️ Q ♠️ runout, Nguyen ended the hopes of Sugita in the third of five flights.
