Daniel Nguyen

Following that hand, Nguyen busted. Next to go was Benjamin Sai who fell to chip leader Ankit Jajodia with Q♠ Q♣ outdrawn by Ace-Jack. The Jack paired up on the flop then the turn and river were both Aces for a crushing full house.
The lone Romanian in the field Moraru Catalin was holding on to a short stack all day then met his end with Nguyen Quang Huy claiming all his chips.
