Thanh Nguyen open-shoved for 230k and was called by Eder Herrera, but then Jake White moved all in for 605k.

After a big sigh, Herrera finally decided to throw his hand away, accidentally exposing Q♣T♣. 

White then tabled 9♠9♣ and was up against the A♥3♦ of Nguyen. 

Sure enough, the flop came out K♦4♦Q♥ which would have given Herrera a queen for the lead but instead, White won the pot after the board ran out J♦J♥, eliminating Nguyen. 

White - 1.1mil  
Herrera - 1.51mil  
Nguyen - 0
