Isaac Kempton raised from the hijack to 55,000, Tom Nguyen moved all in from the button for 275,000, and Kempton thought for a while before he called with Qs10h.

Nguyen turned over 4d4c, and he needed his hand to hold to stay alive.

The board came Kd7h5c5dKc, and the board double-paired to counterfeit Nguyen’s fours. Kempton won the pot with his queen kicker to eliminate Nguyen in 32nd place.
