Quang Minh Nguyen

Hand #34: Quang Minh Nguyen shoved for his last 2,500,000 from the cutoff and Shintaro Sato shoved for more from the small blind to put Nguyen at risk.

Quang Minh Nguyen: A 6

Shintaro Sato: J T

Nguyen held the lead with his ace and the 9 6 A flop all but assured he would double up.

The hand wasn't over, however, and the Q turn improved Sato to a gutshot straight draw.

In a cruel twist of fate for Nguyen, the K appeared on the river — completing Sato's unlikely runner-runner for a straight to eliminate Nguyen in sixth place.
