Day 3
Clinkscales Doubles With Rockets

Manh Tuan Nguyen min-raised from the under the gun and called the all-in raise of Rex Clinkscales for 373,000 for a showdown. Clinkscales showed A♠ A♣ while Nguyen grumbled with A♥ Q♦ . Nguyen paired his queen on a flop of 7♥ 3♠ Q♠ , getting some "oooohs" from the table. However, Nguyen failed to improve on the 4♥ turn and 6♥ river, shipping the pot to Clinkscales and leaving Nguyen with just 84,000.
Nguyen busted on the next hand defending his big blind.

Day 2
Hiroi Pushes Against The Big Stacks
Big-stacked Manh Tuan Nguyen raised to 11,000 from under the gun with action ending up to Yukako Hiroi, who pushed all-in from the small blind for 87,000. Nguyen could make the call with his stack and maybe experiencing a slight scratch, but decided to fold to award the pot to Hiroi.
In the next hand, the big-stacked Edilberto Gopez Jr. made the 10,000 min-raise from the cut-off when Hiroi three-betted to 33,000. Gopez Jr. folded and Hiroi was able to scoop up some more chips to improve her stack to a comfortable spot.
