Kenny Nguyen opened in the cutoff for 4,600 and Michael Compolongo shoved from the button for just under 20,000. Nguyen counted out the call and debated to himself whether he should call or not. He said, "You've got me beat but I'm gonna call." He made the call and tabled {Q-Clubs} {9-Spades}.

Compolongo turned up {A-Spades} {A-Diamonds} and watched the board run {4-Diamonds} {8-Diamonds} {7-Diamonds} {J-Diamonds} {3-Diamonds}. With five diamonds on the board both players had a flush, but Compolongo had the nut flush holding the {A-Diamonds}. Nguyen is still over 100,000 and Compolongo has 50,000
