Tai Nguyen Eliminated in 3th Place ($147,220)
Level 26
: 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante
Hand #156: Taylor Paur made it 80,000 from the button and he received a call from Tai Nguyen who was seated in the big blind. Nguyen checked to Paur on 
and Paur made a 85,000 continuation-bet. Nguyen looked at his chips and then cut out 210,000 for a raise. Paur moved him all in and Nguyen immediately made the call for his 930,000 total stack.
Paur showed his 
and was in front against Nguyen's 
. Both had a flush draw but Paur's was just a little better. The 
on the turn gave both players a flush but Paur's wasn't sure to be seating heads up yet. The 
could still ruin the party and for a second the rail and players thought it hit the river. The 
was close, but no cigar, for Nguyen who exited in third place.
