Level 26 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

The attention of PokerNews was drawn to the table as one of the players announced "Big pot!"

The pot stood at around 3,000,000 as Bien Nguyen in the hijack jammed all in for 1,850,000 as the full board read 4♦3♦5♦8♠2♥. The remaining player in the hand was on the button and eventually folded sending this huge pot to Nguyen.

The very next hand also unfolded to be a big pot. The player under the gun raised to 300,000 finding a caller in Bien Nguyen in middle position and Abhishek Parashar in the hijack.

A flop of 6♣7♦6♦ checked through to the K♥ on the turn. The action was checked again to Parashar who bet out for 375,000. The original raiser responded going all in for his last 600,000, Nguyen folded and Parashar called.

Under the gun: A♦8♥
Abhishek Parashar: 10♠8♠

The river landed 9x giving Parashar a straight, sending his opponent to the rail.

Duc Bien Nguyen	5,600,000 5,600,000	5,600,000
