“You missed it.  He snapped me off.” said Paul DeRosa, indicating Tom Nguyen on his right.  Apparently Tom got all-in with a flush draw that came though and he doubled up to the chip lead via the former chip leader.

Tom’s hot run continued as I watched.  He raised and got a call from Paul to see the flop of 6s6d5s.  Tom bet 10k and Paul called.  Turn was the Js and Tom checked, Paul bet 10k, and Tom called.

River was the As and Tom bet 10k, Paul raised to 20k, Tom called, and Paul insta-mucked.  Tom showed 3s3c for a very low flush.  He climbed to about 270k.

Tom’s been playing for over 14 hours today.  He started in Flight B at 11am and lasted until level 13 before busting out.  He jumped into this flight which was just starting up and has been grinding ever since.
