From the hijack seat, Huy Nguyen open-shoved the 164,000 chips he had left. Ari Engel made the call on the button, and the two men were heads up and flipping. It was Nguyen and his {8-Clubs} {8-Diamonds} with a slight lead over the {K-Hearts} {Q-Clubs} of Engel.

The board ran out with blanks, coming {J-Hearts} {2-Diamonds} {3-Diamonds} {9-Diamonds} {5-Hearts}. Nguyen's pocket eights hold, and he's moved his way up to 358,000 with that double.

Engel is still the chip leader, but just barely. Mark him down for 740,000.
