Aces Don't Always Nguyen

Starting the Day with better than 70k, Andrew Nguyen looked primed for a big day here at the Choctaw Casino.
So when a player in front of him shoved with eights, a second re-shipped with tens and he woke up with aces, he snap called with a big grin.
"Ace-ball," he said.
"Ten ball," replied the short stack holding tens, as the player holding eights kept quiet.
The flop was all blanks, as was the turn, but as the player with eights rose from his seat, the dealer peeled off one of his two outs and he cracked Nguyen's aces to double up.
"It's always the quiet ones," said the busted player with tens, as close to 25k was removed from Nguyen's stack and sent across the table.
