Nang Quang Nguyen
Shintaro Sato entered Day 3 with a top-ten chip stack and quickly grew it to over three million through relentlessly aggressive play.
However, Nang Quang Nguyen finally put a damper on Sato's meteoric rise after catching Sato getting out of line.
In the hand, Sato shoved from the hijack, having everyone covered at the table. It was folded to Nguyen, who called all in for 783,000 from the small blind.
Nang Quang Nguyen: Q Q
Shintaro Sato: T 6
Sato got caught speeding, but he made Nguyen sweat after pairing his six on the 6 5 8 flop.
However, the J turn and 2 river bricked out for Sato and he was forced to surrender a portion of his stack over to Nguyen.
Despite the sizable hit, Sato is still among the chip leaders with 2,650,000.
