The turn is the 6d and the river is the 6c, which sends the pot to Leger.

The river was the 7d, however, and Beasley moved back into the lead with a straight. Dan was eliminated in 23rd place and picked up $2,107, while Beasley cracked the million chip mark.

Nguyen got all in for his last 445,000 and got action from Beasley. Nguyen showed AdKh and was in trouble against Beasley’s AhAc.

The flop was 2c2h2d, giving Nguyen some chop outs, and he picked up some outs to win after the Ks hit the turn.

The 8c came on the river, however, and Beasley won the pot to eliminate Nguyen. The stacks were close and they broke down both stacks before verifying that each player had exactly 445,000.

Nguyen was out in 25th place for $2,107 and Beasley shot up the chip counts.
