In the last hand of Level 22, Hoan Nguyen moved all in under the gun for 450,000, Aaron Kupin moved all in over the top from middle position for 935,000, and chipleader Brandon Eisen thought for a while before he folded.

Nguyen turned over 6s6h, and he needed to improve to stay alive against Kupin’s 9h9c. (Eisen claimed he folded ace-king.)

The board came KsQd7c5hKd, and the pocket nines held up for Kupin to win the pot and eliminate Nguyen in 33rd place.

Aaron Kupin  –  1,425,000  (57 bb)
Hoan Nguyen  –  Eliminated in 33rd Place  ($20,037)
