Nghiem, Lin Next to Fall

Level 23
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Brian Battistone raised to 55,000 in early position, Huy Nghiem moved all in for 400,000 in the cutoff, and Battistone called.
Huy Nghiem: Q?J?
Brian Battistone: A?K?
Battistone hit top pair on the K?9?5? flop, while Nghiem was looking to complete a straight draw. The rest of the board ran out 5?3? and Battistone stayed in the lead to send Nghiem, who pulled one of the $25,000 mystery bounties earlier in the day, to the rail.
A few hands earlier at this table, Yi Lin was all for 350,000 and up against Chris Johnston.
Yi Lin: A?6?
Chris Johnston: A?10?
Lin took the lead on the 8?6?9? flop with a pair of sixes, but Johnston ended up with a straight as the board ran out 2?7? and Lin stopped to snap a photo of the board before making his exit.
