Another player down and more chips for monster-stacked Minh Nguyen.
This time it was Sam Williams who hit the rail and his final hand began with him in the big blind and with Nguyen raising the small blind to 25,000. Williams called and the dealer turned over a 
flop. Nguyen led for 31,000 here and Williams called.
On the 
turn, Nguyen moved all in, with Williams having 200,000 behind.
Williams just nodded his head and said call.
Nguyen tabled 
for the turned straight, while Williams had 
for two pair.
The board completed with a 
and Williams was on the rail in fifth place, taking home NZ$31,500.
Nguyen’s stack has moved towards 3 million and he now has almost 70% of the chips in play with four players remaining.
