Joe Cassidy is down to 160,000 after going all the way to the river with chip leader Men Nguyen. Brandon Adams completed third street with a seven and was called by three of the other four players. Nguyen double-bet his open pair of tens on fourth street, finding a caller only in Cassidy.

On fifth street, Nguyen made a cautious check. Cassidy bet but Nguyen wasn't done with the hand. He called to sixth street, then led into Cassidy. Cassidy called.

At the river, Nguyen checked. Cassidy squeezed his cards, then threw his hands into the air as if to say, "Aiyah!" He checked. Nguyen opened {8-Spades} {8-Hearts} {q-Diamonds} in the hole for two pairs, tens and eights. Cassidy could only stare up at the ceiling.
