The bet was instantly called by Monnette who flipped up his for a cancelled out two pair and said "Do you have a six? You can't have a six." Much to his dismay, however, Nguyen flipped up for a higher straight which allowed Nguyen to scoop a massive sized pot.

We're now down to the last 32 players in this tournament and as you can plainly see, Daniel Idema has stormed out in front with 305,000 in chips, almost double that of his nearest rivals, Jared Odell (167,500) and Darin Thomas (167,000).
As this chip count post went to post, Melanie Banfield was eliminated, leaving JJ Liu as the last remaining female in the tournament, but a bigger sigh of relief went up from the other players when "Mr. Hipster", AKA Michael Winnette, finally departed the room in his typically boisterous style. We'll have that bust-out for you shortly.

"I literally have pocket kings right now. Its rigged. It's SO rigged" exclaimed Winnett. "How can I literally lose everything? I don't get it!"
It was at this point that Winnett literally slammed his chips into the middle, making the call of Brian Pimlott's river bet. Pimlott tabled and Winnett threw his cards furiously into the muck.
"Couldn't have given him the jack?! It's just so ridiculous. It's rigged" Winnett said one more time.
