Minh Nguyen had his night end unfortunately when he ran into "HavingFun".
Nguyen 8♠8♦
"HavingFun" Q♣4♠
"HavingFun" immediately spiked a queen on a flop of 3♣5♠Q♠. Nguyen exhausted his opportunities to catch back up when the 10♦ then the K♥ hit the turn and river. And "HavingFun" was certainly having more than Nguyen.

Go to the bathroom before you burst! That was a lot of Red Bull you drank!
Fred Li reraised all in on Kyriakos Papadopoulos, and Papadopoulos snapped him off.
Li: A♥J♠
Papadopoulos: 9♥9♠
A flop of 3♣10♠5♣ gave little hope to Li, but then the blessed J♦ came on the turn.
Fortune spun another 180 degrees on fifth street, though, as the 9♦ gifted Papadopoulos a set, and shattered Li's hopes.

Charles Phillips put in a 2x raise from late position and Chris Battenfield called from the big blind. The flop rolled off 2♥4♥5♠. Battenfield checked and Phillips continued for 55,600.
The turn brought another two into play, the 2♣. Battenfield checked again, and Phillips fired another barrel. But there was a ricochet, as Battenfield check-raised for $332,900. Phillips called, and they took in a river of J♣.
Battenfield open-shoved and Phillips called for his last $720,978. Phillips turned over K♠4♠, only to see Battenfield's K♣2♦. The hero call died on the battlefield, and Phillips was out in 30th place.

Just five minutes for the players to get some Red Bull or a granola bar, and then right back to the action.
