Minh Anh Nguyen Busts With Aces

“Oh man, why do you do this to me,” Minh Anh Nguyen gasps as he vaults out of his chair over on table 17, which is breaking right after the elimination of the Vietnamese. His cards are already mucked but the board and winning hand of Qiyuan Huang is exposed.

Huang’s spike two pair on the river and other players at the table confirm that Nguyen had held pocket aces on the button with the chips going in after the turn.

Huang is among the big stacks, only trailing Trent Fechter who “doubled twice in four hands in lucky fashion”.

Trent Fechter – 1,400,000 (333 bb)
Qiyuan Huang – 950,000 (79 bb)
Minh Anh Nguyen – Eliminated
Joshua Zimmerman – Eliminated
