Mike Nia raised to 425,000, and Brandon Nguyen (pictured above) moved all in next to act for 1,300,000. Kenneth Hirose (pictured below) was in the big blind, and he moved all in over the top, forcing Nia out of the pot.

Nguyen: [Qh][10c]

Hirose: [Ad][Qs]

An ace popped right in the window of the [Ac][8d][7s] flop, and Nguyen needed running cards to survive now. The [6d] turn was one of them, as a nine would make a straight now, and while the river looked scary at first, it was the [8c].

Hirsoe is now up to nearly six million after that pot, and we have just five players now.
