Derden Races for Tournament Life
Level 26
: 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante
John Nguyen raised to 70,000 under the gun only to have Preston Derden move all in for 353,000 total from middle position. After the blinds folded, Nguyen made the call and the cards were turned up:
Nguyen: 
Derden: 
"I'm gonna get it," Derden said confidently as he was racing for his tournament life. Sure enough, the flop came down 
and Derden took the lead. The 
on the turn gave Nguyen some straight outs, but the 
river missed him. Derden doubled on the hand and is now up to 750,000.
