HomePeter Nguyen may have been the monster stack coming into Day 3 but after losing out on some small pots and then getting chunked down by Sunny Zhang, his day came to an immediate halt in a hand against Jereld Sam. It began with Nguyen raising to 11500 and Sam called. At the flop, 7♥ 6♦ 8♠, Nguyen shoved for around 67000 and Sam quickly called.
Sam: A♥ 8♥
Nguyen: A♣ 6♣
With the turn of A♦ and river of 9♦, Nguyen was eliminated in 13th place. Nguyen takes home $2,400 for his finish at the APT Vietnam Main Event.
