Four players made it to the flop and it checked around to Men Nguyen in the cutoff who almost string-bet 1,800. The floor was called over and informed that Nguyen had had all the requisite chips in his hand but had very quickly laid them out in three stacks rather than all at once. The TD ruled that that was ok because he'd done it really quickly, and the bet stood. Two player folded, but Max Pescatori in the hijack made the call.
They proceeded to check down the turn and saw a river, which Pescatori checked as well. Nguyen bet 5,000 and Pescatori called - but the Italian Pirate mucked to the Master's .
Current standings: Nguyen 40,000, Pescatori 24,000.
