Thao Nguyen Knocks Out Two

After two short stacks moved all in Thao Nguyen made the call in the big blind with the hopes of sending two players to the rail. After all the chips and side pots were settled cards were flipped and it was Nguyen's {J-Diamonds}{J-Clubs} that were ahead of his John Teel's {q-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} and his other opponent's {7-Diamonds}{7-Spades}.

On a flop of {2-}{6-Clubs}{7-Clubs} Thao's lead vanished as the player with pocket sevens took control. The turn-river thought brought {5-Clubs}{9-Clubs} running clubs, gave Nguyen a flush. With that hand Nguyen passes 600,000 and is a force to be reckoned with.
