Our final hand of the night in the Championship Event sees Kenny "Super Tuan" Nguyen get it in against James "Smiley" Chin. Tuan has Chin covered and held QQ against Chin's AK.
The flop came [T J 4] Tuan screamed for "NO QUEEN!!!" when the turn came a [K], giving Chin the better pair and leaving Tuan with 7 outs (3 aces or 4 nines).
He called for a 9, and the dealer burned. After hesitating ever so slightly, the dealer turned the river card and out fell a black 9.
"I HIT A NINE! I HIT A NINE!", screamed Tuan. Chin was dejected, and put his arms up in the air as if to say, "I surrender".
Chin wanted to give a shout out to Gordon Eng and thank him for his support and luck. Both players made it pretty deep in the Main Event and both played very well. Gordon went out when his back to back Aces were felled by a set and a straight.
Play has ended for the night as we are down to 27 and the floor is coloring up and players are bagging chips. They will resume tomorrow morning at 11am in the main poker room. Come down and check out the action live.
