On blinds of 3K/6K/6K, Will Givens opened to 13,000 from the hijack. Manoop Dawar and Duc Nguyen called from the button and big blind respectively.

The flop came Q♥T♥7♣. Givens continued for 15,000. Dawar announced all-in for 142,000. Nguyen, aka Lucky Ducky, asked for a count and took some time before calling. Givens folded.

Dawar: A♠Q♦ (all-in)  
Nguyen: Q♠J♠  
Board: Q♥T♥7♣2♠J♦

Dawar was in great shape until the J♦ hit the river. Lucky Ducky strikes again and eliminates Dawar in 26th place.
