Nguyen Flushed Away by Danchev
Level 12
: Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Nick Yunis opened the action with a min-raise right before the blinds had gone up. Dimitar Danchev called on the button only for Qui Nguyen to make it 16,000 to go from the small blind. That forced out Yunis while Danchev then pushed all in. Nguyen quickly called for what appeared to be 58,500 and the cards were on their backs.
Qui Nguyen: A♣K♣
Dimitar Danchev: A♦Q♦
Both players held suited aces and the 7♦5♦4♦ gave Danchev the ace-high flush. Drawing dead already, Nguyen could all but chuckle and left the tournament area with a grin while the board completed with the 9♠ turn and 4♣ river.
