Dang Toan Nguyen was the second biggest stack at the break but upon his return, the first hand sent him spiraling down then out on the next hand. In reverse, Teoh Ming Hong zoomed to 3.5M and is now the overwhelming chip leader. We caught the heavy action on a turn board 9♥ 8♥ K♠ 2♥, Teoh with a bet in front, Dang raised it, Teoh jammed, and Dang said “I can’t fold this”.
