A player raised under the gun to 10,000, Zach Nguyen moved all in UTG+1 for 90,500, and his opponent asked for a count and tanked for a long time before he called with 8s8d.

But Nguyen turned over QsQc, and needed his hand to hold to stay alive.

The board came Kc6s5c6c5d, and the pocket queens held up for Nguyen to win the pot and double up in chips.

Zach Nguyen  –  191,000  (48 bb)


With 328 players remaining, the average chip stack is about 192,000 (48 big blinds), and the final 197 players will finish in the money, guaranteed at least $6,150 each.

There will be a 90-minute dinner break after Level 17 (about 6:45 pm), and action is scheduled to continue tonight until the end of Level 21, around 12:30 am.
