Sergey Altbregin: (X)(X) / {3-Spades} {10-Diamonds} {2-Hearts} {A-Hearts} / (X)
Scotty Nguyen: (X)(X) / {3-Diamonds} {8-Hearts} {9-Hearts} {2-Clubs} / (X)
Brian Townsend: (X)(X) / {8-Diamonds} {6-Spades} {8-Clubs} {9-Clubs} / (X)

We caught up with the action after all the cards were dealt out. Townsend checked, Altbregin bet, Nguyen called and then Townsend tank-called. Altbregin held {9-Diamonds} {7-Hearts} {4-Clubs} for a seven low. Townsend tabled the {A-Diamonds} {6-Diamonds} {3-Clubs} for two pair, eights and sixes. Nguyen couldn't beat either hand and mucked, dropping to just 1,600 chips. Townsend moved up to 90,000 and Altbregin to 69,000.
