Chad Eveslage opened to 150,000 from middle position and picked up calls from Aram Zobian in the hijack and Rob Wazwaz on the button. Thien Nguyen raised to 775,000 from the big blind and only Eveslage came along.

The flop was Jh6d4h, Nguyen checked, and Eveslage bet 500,000. Nguyen check-raised to 1,400,000 and Eveslage called. The turn was Kh, Nguyen bet 2,700,000, leaving 100K behind. Eveslage announced all in and Nguyen called at risk.

Eveslage: JsJd
