Vietnam National Cup (9,000,000 VND)

Four-handed it folded around to Krisada Pinthakasetrin in the small-blind who put Khanh Huy Nguyen in the big-blind all-in. The Vietnamese player had around 1,500,000 chips and decided to put his tournament life at risk and call.

Khanh Huy Nguyen: K♥ 2♦

Krisada Pinthakasetrin: K♦ 6♦

The flop came out great for the Pinthakasetrin as it showed J♦ 6♣ 5♦ . The 9♣ on the turn made Huy Ngyuen drawing dead. He finished in a respectable fourth position, taking home VND 333,100,000.

Nguyen Nhuong shoved all in for 600,000 from under the gun and Nguyen Huy called from the big blind.

Nguyen Huy: Q♥ 7♦

Nguyen Nhuong: A♦ K♣

Nhuong maintained the lead after the 9♥ 9♣ J♦ flop. The turn showed a J♠, and Huy was still hoping for help from the river, shouting, “Queen, queen, queen!” His wish was granted as a Q♦ landed, eliminating Nhuong in sixth place for a payday of VND 205,410,000 (~$8,090).

In the hand before he busted, Quang Do Trinh from Vietnam got it all-in preflop with 9♣ 9♦ against Ronald Zapantis' A♠ T♠ . The board ran out Q♠ J♠ 5♦ 3♠ 6♦ and Trinh was left with crumbles.

With only 315,000 remaining he put his chips into the middle the next hand from the small-blind against Huy Nguyen open from the cut-off.

Quang Do Trinh: A♦ 3♣

Huy Nguyen: A♣ T♣

The board did not come in Trinh's favor as it ran out K♥ 9♠ T♦ 5♠ Q♣ and Trinh had to pack his bags in 14th place, good for VND 49,460,000.

The action was picked up on the flop of 3♠ 7♠ J♣ when Nguyen Huy checked over the action, and Shi Bei bet 160,000 only to be faced with a shove for 600,000 from Huy. Bei dropped in a call to put his opponent at risk .

Shi Bei: 8♣ 8♦

Nguyen Huy: 7♥ 7♣

Huy picked up the lead with a flopped set of sevens, and the dealer quickly delivered a dry runout T♦ K♣, meaning Huy stays alive in the field.

Phuong My shoved all in from the small blind for around 105,000 and Nguyen Huy dropped in a call from the big blind after thinking a while.

Nguyen Huy: K♠ 8♥

Phuong My: A♦ J♠

The flop delivered 3♥ 4♣ 8♠ , improving Huy to a pair of eights, but My still had some outs to win the pot. Unfortunately for My, the runout came T♦ 8♦ , which made Huy’s pair bloom into trips on the river and earned Huy a much-needed double up.
