Congratulations to Dylan Nguyen, Winner of the Opening Event of the LAPC!

Dylan Nguyen had just knocked Safiya Umerova down to her last 10 big blinds when she shoved her final 505,000 into the middle. Dylan Nguyen took a look at his cards, and asked for a count. He didn't seem too thrilled by the situation, but ultimately, he dropped in a few chips to make the call.

Umerova: [Qc][4h]
Nguyen: [Jd][8d]

Umerova did hold a slight advantage, and while the flop of [10s][9d][4c] didn't hit Nguyen directly, it did give him more outs with the open ended straight draw. The [Kh] on the turn took away his jack outs, but the [8c] came on the river, giving Nguyen a winning pair of eights.

Umerova takes home $18,700 for her efforts, while Nguyen will take home the Remington trophy, and a full first place payday of $26,715.

Thank you to everyone who came out for the opening event of the LAPC, and we look forward to many more huge events this series!
