After a flop of AcQc9c, Long Nguyen bet 175,000 from under the gun, Ricardo Eyzaguirre raised, and Nguyen called all in for 200,000 with 9h9d for a set of nines.

Eyzaguirre turned over 10s10d, and Nguyen needed his hand to hold to stay alive.

The turn card was the 8c, the river card was the 6h, and Nguyen won the pot with his set of nines to double up in chips.

Long Nguyen  –  3,350,000  (34 bb)
Ricardo Eyzaguirre  –  7,575,000  (76 bb)

With 14 players remaining from a field of 1,162, the average chip stack is around 4,150,000 (42 big blinds). The remaining players are guaranteed at least $39,000 each.

Action is scheduled to continue tonight until there are seven players remaining for tomorrow’s live-streamed final table, which is scheduled to begin at 12:00 noon EST.
