Trung Phong Nguyen Has Been Eliminated in 7th Place - VND 383,000,000 (~USD 15,100)

Level 35: 150,000 / 300,000 ante: 300,000

Trung Phong Nguyen - 7th Place - VND 383,000,000 (~USD 15,100)

Trung Phong Nguyen raised to 675,000 from the hi-jack and called when chip leader Pham Tien Dung shoved all-in to put his tournament life at risk.

Dung flopped the top pair and while there was a threat of Nguyen making a flush, it did not happen. Dung's hand withstood the threat to take down the pot and show Nguyen the exit.

Trung Phong Nguyen made VND 383,000,000 (~USD 15,100) for his run.

Aces Work For Trung Phong Nguyen

Level 29: 40,000 / 80,000 ante: 80,000

Thai Quang Nguyen

Trung Phong Nguyen raised to 175,000 from the cut-off and called the all-in shove of Thai Quang Nguyen for 610,000 on the button.

Aces vs Jacks.

Earlier, Trung Phong Nguyen cracked aces and he felt maybe karma might come back in this hand. However, the poker gods threw an ace on the flop to give him a set and assure him the win.

Thai Quang Nguyen's jacks didn't stand a chance and had to give up his seat.

Straight Cracks Aces

Level 29: 40,000 / 80,000 ante: 80,000

Trung Phong Nguyen

Andres Vasquez raised to 160,000 on the button and called the 475,000 three-bet by Trung Phong Nguyen in the big blind. The flop came K♦ J♥ 8♠.

Nguyen led with 225,000 and Vasquex called to show a T♣ on the turn. Nguyen checked his option to Vasquez who fired 400,000. Nguyen gave it some thought, threw in two time banks, counted his chips and shoved all-in for 770,000. Vasquez snap called.

Vasquez flipped over pocket aces confidently, but was shocked to Nguyen's straight on the turn. The river T♥ didn't do anything for Vasquez and Nguyen wins an enormous double up.
