Day 1
Nguyen Doubles Up Through Yajinuma's Bullets

Nang Nguyen limped in from the small blind, and Juji Yajinuma raised to 22,000 from the big blind. Nguyen dropped in a call.
Nang Nguyen checked on the flop of K♣ 6♣ 8♦ , and Yajinuma continued with a bet of 40,000 only to be jammed by Nguyen for 177,000. After thinking for a while, Yajinuma threw one purple chip in the middle and announced “Call.”
Juji Yajinuma: A♠ A♥
Nang Nguyen: 9♣ 7♣
Nguyen picked up a flush and straight draw, meaning Yajinuma needed to fade many cards to win the pot. The dealer soon delivered a runout of 5♥ T♠, improving Nguyen to a straight.
While waiting for the dealer to count the chips for a few seconds, Nguyen asked, “You do it or I do it?” The dealer smiled and started to count the chips. Yajinuma still stays alive in the tournament.
