The beginning of the end for Toan Nguyen involved a hand against Henrik Tollefsen. Both players were all-in pre-flop for a short-stacks showdown:
Toan: A♠ J♦
Tollefsen: 10♠ 10♣
Flop 3♥ 4♣ Q♠, turn 5♦ and river 4♥ and Toan Nguyen drops to exactly 1,100– less than one big blind!
The very next hand, Toan Nguyen with 10♥ J♦ was up against Sammy Bolung’s A♦ 8♦. Dealer boarded 6♠ 5♦ 8♥ K♣ K♦ and Toan Nguyen is out of the main event. Bolung has over 70,000.
