Event 5: Suckout City

$600 + $60 No Limit Hold'em (Re-Entry)

 Hoa to be Running Good

As players go to dinner, Hoa Nguyen (Fairfax, VA) says he has the chip leader because of  "suckouts."

Another player chimes in, "running like God," as Nguyen has 230k.

Nguyen says he recently beat AK with A7, but the bigger suckout comes when he puts a player all in for his last 40k on a board of A A 8.

Opponent: A 9
Nguyen: 8♣ 2♣

Of course Nguyen goes runner, runner club for the flush and takes his stack to more than 200k.

Players are on a one hour break and return for play at 8:45 pm.
