John Hennigan completed and called Men Nguyen’s raise. Hennigan bet on fourth and Nguyen called. On fifth, Hennigan bet again only to get raised by Nguyen. Hennigan called and bet yet again on sixth. Nguyen raised and Hennigan re-raised which Nguyen called. On seventh, Hennigan bet one last time and Nguyen called. Hennigan showed 
for a straight as Nguyen yelled “case ten” and showed 
for trip tens. The hand crippled Nguyen down to 75,000 while Henningan catapulted into the lead with close to a million.
Shortly after, the follow hand occurred to eliminate Nguyen at the hands of his familiar foe Hennigan.

Nguyen called all-in on sixth with an ace-high flush draw and Broadway draw against the two pair of Hennigan. Nguyen completely bricked with his last card and the defending champ was eliminated. This means that there will be a new champion in this event as Hennigan moved across the one million chip mark.
