On Hand #25 of the final table, Tuan Nguyen opened for 65,000 from the hijack and chip leader Sunny Ali defended from the big blind, which brought about a flop of {8-Diamonds}{k-Spades}{k-Diamonds}. Ali checked, Nguyen bet 115,000, and Ali instantly check-raised all in. Nguyen only had 274,000 behind and thought for more than a minute before calling off.

Nguyen: {q-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}
Ali: {a-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}

"Nice call," Ali complimented before the dealer burned and turned the {J-Clubs}.

"No ace," said Nguyen, who was on his feet. Indeed, either an ace or jack would give Ali the win, and much to Nguyen's dismay, the former came when the {A-Spades} spiked on the river!

Nguyen will take home $13,639 for his eighth-place finish
