Level 27 : 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Nhut Nguyen came up to us at PokerNews to tell us about a hand that catapulted him over the 2,500,000 chip stack that happened during the level right before the break.

Nguyen opened for 90,000 under the gun and a player in late position jammed for 700,000. Action folded back around to Nguyen who said he took some time before he called.

Nhut Nguyen:
Opponent:

Nguyen risked a little under half his stack on a coin flip, but it paid off.

Nguyen's pocket eights slicked through the board unscathed as he eliminated his opponent.
