After the elimination of Kyle Wilson it wasn’t long before the next player was on his way to the payout cage. Amit “Amak316″ Makhija opened a pot for 150k and Trong Nguyen called. On the 7
7
2 flop Trong bet 300k and Amit made the call. The 4 turn card prompted Trong to move all in for his last 850k and after some though Makhija made the call.
His read was correct as Trong had only the KQ, drawing to only a pair while Makhija had pocket sixes with the 6 for a pair and a flush draw to block a couple of Nguyen’s outs. The river bricked out for Trong with the 5 and Amit was able to bust Nguyen in 5th place and add to his chip lead.
