Niveau 24
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Nguyen's Flopped Set No Good as he Exits the Tournament
Niveau 24
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Andrej Tekel opened 60,000 under the gun, and Santtu Leinonen called before Deividas Daubaris three-bet to 215,000 in the cutoff. Tommy Nguyen was on the button and jammed for 295,000, forcing folds back to Daubaris who made the call.
Tommy Nguyen: J♥J♦
Deividas Daubaris: A♣Q♣
It was a flip as the J♠10♣8♦ flop gave Nguyen a set of jacks to be way out in front, however, it was short-lived as the K♦ peeled off on the turn to give Daubaris Broadway. The 5♦ river was no help for Nguyen and he stood up from the table.
