Minh Nguyen: Day 3 Comeback King

Niveau 23 : 12,000/24,000, 24,000 ante

Returning this morning with 190,000 chips, Minh Nguyen lost a big pot early on to drop to just three big blinds. With an eye to the approaching money jump, Nguyen folded his big and small blinds, leaving him with just 4,000 chips.

Satisfied to have made an extra $500 when the pay jump was activated by the latest elimination, Nguyen got back into the action. Since that moment, what he's done to his stack is pretty incredible. Nguyen has doubled time and time again, winning consistently until he hit the last break with 800,000 chips.

Jamasi Leads into the Break

Niveau 22 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

While Farhad Jamasi is quietly rising in chips, over on Jean Fontaine's table there are bluffs and banter aplenty. His tablemate took a picture of a board featuring a pair of fives and overcards, and Fontaine's winning hand - a pair of threes. Apparently a huge river bluff had pushed his opponent off the 900,000 pot.

"You're a senior!" his amused and impressed tablemate said, "How can you walk around with balls that big?"

Martin is Shoved on, then Shoves in Turn

Niveau 22 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Frank Martin faced an all-in lead of 225,000 on a flop of into a pot that had already swelled to 140,000. Peter Kamaras, who'd put his tournament life on the line betting out here, had to wait a moment for Martin (with 405,000 behind) to make his decision. He folded.

The very next hand Martin himself moved all-in when it folded round to him in middle position. No interest was shown until action reached Scott Numoto in the big blind. Numoto stood up, looking at his opponent's stack, until the floor told him, "You have to be in a seat to play a hand. All in is a different matter."

Numoto sat down and asked for a count of Martin's chips, then folded. Racks were handed out as yet another table breaks; there are 180 players left with the payout level currently at $3,758.
