In the final hand of Level 31, after a flop of AdQc5c, Ha Nguyen got it all in from the button for about 6,400,000 with KhKd, but he needed to improve to stay alive against the Ac6c (pair of aces, club flush draw) of chipleader Hector Pacheco, who was UTG+1.

The turn card was the 7c, the river card was the 3s, and Pacheco clinched the pot on the turn with a club flush to eliminate Nguyen in 14th place.
