Tommy Nguyen raised to 35,000 from early position, Shintaro Baba three-bet to 95,000 from the hijack and Nguyen called. Both players checked the 
flop. Nguyen check-called 125,000 on the 
turn.
The river brought the 
and Nguyen checked. Baba thought for around a minute before checking behind and Nguyen revealed 
for jacks with fours. Baba showed 
for aces and jacks and took down the pot.
Shortly after, Nguyen defended his big blind with 
against a middle position raise from Adrian Scarpa. Nguyen check-called 35,000 on the 
flop and saw Scarpa check the 
turn behind. Nguyen bet 100,000 on the 
river, got a call, and won the hand.
