| Preecha Taepakdee (Boynton Beach, FL) found himself in a very envious position, holding set over set, in a pot worth over 600,000 chips. |
As we were collecting results from the tournament podium, we walked by a hand unfolding, between Nagui Yassa and Preecha Taepakdee. The two players were on the turn of a board that read 4♦ 7♥ 8♥ 9♥, with Nagui announcing that he was all-in (for close to 300,000). Taepakdee took little time before verbalizing a call, and turning over 8♠ 8♣. Yassa reacted in disgust, as he learned that his 7♠ 7♣ was drawing to one out on the river. The 5♥ completed the board, and Yassa would be eliminated in 79th place ($415). Taepakdee would scoop in the massive pot, bringing him up to 800,000, and making him the current Day 2 chip leader.
Preecha Tapeakdee - 820,000 (41bb)
