Nguyen Doubles Through Kubaliak in Huge Flip

Level 19 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante

We found all the money getting pushed in between Loc Nguyen in middle position and Tomas Kubaliak on the button. The former had {j-Hearts}{j-Spades} and the latter {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs}, so a massive flip worth nearly 1.5 million was in progress. The dealer ran out {8-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{a-Spades}{10-Clubs}, so Nguyen looked cooked, but the {j-Clubs} river saved him and he pounded the table in celebration.

Kubaliak sent over 720,000, leaving himself with crumbs.
