Event 14 (Day 2): Kadosh Goes Runner-Runner To Eliminate Nguyen

"Battles At The Beach"
Event 14 ($1,500 No Limit Hold'em Main Event $500,000 GTD)
Level 21 (Blinds 6,000/12,000/2,000)
Total Entries: 482
Players Remaining: 20
Chip Average: 723,000

Uri Kadosh opened from under the gun, with action then folding around to Alex Nguyen in the big blind.  With 340,000 behind, Nguyen announced that he was all-in, leaving Kadosh with a decision for about half of his remaining chips.  Uri seemed a little reluctant in calling, but did just that after dumping a pile of orange chips across his cards:

Nguyen: K♠ K
Kadosh: A♠ 10♠

Runout: J♠ J♣ 3♣ Q♠ 4♠

It looked like a pretty safe flop for Nguyen, but Kadosh's equity rose after the Q♠ on the turn (giving him a combo draw).  The river 4♠ completed Kadosh's flush, eliminating Nguyen from the tournament, and helping Uri recoup some of the chips he lost since the level started.

Uri Kadosh - 1,100,000
Alex Nguyen - 21st Place ($4,555)
