Two Knockouts for Nguyen
Level 22
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Jose Ramon Garcia got his stack of 640,000 in preflop against Manh Nguyen and the following cards were revealed.
Jose Ramon Garcia: A♦K♥J♦6♦ 
Manh Nguyen: A♠A♥10♣6♠
The aces came out on top of a 9♥6♣3♣7♣4♠ runout to reduce the field to the final 31 players, ensuring another pay jump.
Robert Mierzejewski then potted with his short stack and earned two callers. Nguyen was among them and the only one to look up Mierzejewski on the K♠5♥4♠ flop.
Robert Mierzejewski: K♦Q♥Q♣8♥
Manh Nguyen: A♠K♥6♥5♠
The A♣ turn left Mierzejewski on the ropes and the 2♣ river sent him to the payout desk.
