Nguyen:
Decker:
Nguyen found some help on the flop, as he picked up a backdoor straight draw and some immediate outs to chop. The turn did him no good though, and the river was also a brick. He shrugged helplessly and headed for payouts.
With the departure of Nguyen, there are no longer any WSOP Main Event champions in the field.

With about 500,000 in the pot on a board reading , Jared Jaffee checked from the small blind. Dilovan Hussein was in the hijack and paused for a moment before checking back.
The river was the . Jaffee cut out some chips and fired out a bet worth 274,000. Hussein went into the tank, clearly agonizing over his decision. The two players played a big pot earlier where Hussein spiked a set of tens against Jaffee's jacks, but both players were completely silent.
After a couple of minutes, a player at the table called the clock. "Are you serious?" asked Hussein. "The only thing that beats me is a six." The tournament director confirmed he was going to give him 30 seconds, and after a short while Hussein called.
Jaffee mucked his cards and Hussein slammed down and exclaimed, "I'll snap-call you, bro. Let's go!" A person on the rail chuckled and said, "I don't think he knows what a snap-call is."
Hussein now sits on 1,500,000 while Jaffee has dropped to 350,000.
