Fuh Nguyen raised from middle position and then called a three-bet Kelly Mahana made from the small blind.

Once the flop hit the felt, Mahana led out with a 50,000 bet, only to have Nguyen raise to 105,000.

Mahana then moved his remaining stack into the middle and was snap-called by Nguyen.

It was a cooler situation for Mahana, as his flopped top pair of kings was trailing Nguyen’s pair of aces, and the turn, followed by the river, ended his night.

Shortly after that hand, WSOP bracelet winner Mike Wilklow was eliminated, leaving 20 players remaining, starting the hand-for-hand process.

Fuh Nguyen - 470,000
Mike Wilklow - 0
Kelly Mahana - 0
