Featured Table - Hoa Nguyen Eliminated in 34th Place ($285,678)

[user10554]

Featured Table Hand #1 - Hoa Nguyen has the button in seat 9, he raises to 160,000, and Lee Childs calls from the big blind. The flop comes {3-Hearts}

, Childs checks, Nguyen bets 225,000, Childs raises to 500,000, and Nguyen goes in the tank. (While Nguyen is quietly thinking, everyone in the Featured Table Arena can hear somebody cheering for themselves during an all-in situation at one of the outer tables.)

After about two minutes, Nguyen calls.

The turn card is the {9-Diamonds}

, Childs bets 450,000, and Nguyen thinks for about a minute before he calls. There is already 2.34 million in the pot.

The river card is the {4-Hearts}

, Childs checks, Nguyen moves all in for 1,085,000, and now it's Childs' turn to stop and think.

This has been a very slow hand, but understandably so. The cards were in the air over ten minutes ago.

After about two more minutes, Childs calls. Nguyen shows {5-Clubs}
