Level 24
: 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante
An hour into play, we have our first victim of this final table.
The pot opened with Huy Nguyen shoving his last 290,000 into the middle from early position. A couple seats over, Ed Cotter reshoved over the top, and that got him heads up with Nguyen and a chance for the knockout.
Showdown
Nguyen: 
Cotter: 
There was no salvation for Nguyen as the board ran 
, ending his day in 9th place. It's not the finish Nguyen hoped for, but you'll be seeing him again soon enough. With his victory at the WSOP-C Choctaw Main Event, he's qualified for the $1 million National Championship freeroll in Las Vegas later this month.
