Christopher Nguyen opened to 400,000 in middle position and Juan Pardo defended from the big blind. The flop fell K?J?9? and Pardo check-called a bet of 300,000 from Nguyen.
The turn was the K? and Pardo checked again. Nguyen threw in a bet of 1,000,000 and Pardo stuck around to see the J? on the river. With the board double-paired, Pardo led out with a bet of 525,000. Nguyen flicked in a call and Pardo tabled 10?9? for a counterfeited pair of nines — he was playing a ten-kicker with the two pair on the board. Nguyen showed A?Q? for a better kicker and claimed the pot.
