Winning races is key to success in large tournaments, of this much we are certain.
Calvin Kordus did just that after calling a three-bet shove from Huy Nguyen. Nguyen tabled 
, Kordus opened 
and off we went.
The flop brought a great sweat: 
. Kordus picked up a myriad of outs, and the 
on the turn was certainly one of them. Nguyen was drawing slim going to the river, and didn't find any help from the 
.
Kordus was shipped the pot, chipping up to 510,000 while Nguyen headed to the cage to pick up his 30th place price money: $12,426
"Ya gotta win the races," Kordus professed to his table after the hand.
Ain't that the truth sir.
