Scotty Nguyen Eliminated, Loudly

Busted, baby!
Busted, baby!
Scotty Nguyen open-shoves for 7,100. A gentleman in mid-position is considering the call. At this point an enormous crowd gathers around the table, as Nguyen is shouting, encouraging the gentleman to call.

"Come on, baby! I'm sick of this! Come on, knock me out!"

Eventually Mr. Mid-Position makes the call.

Nguyen: {A-Hearts} {J-Hearts}
Mr. Mid-Position: {K-Clubs} {Q-Clubs} ("I'm alive!" he says for some reason.)

Board: {8-Clubs} {A-Spades} {K-Hearts} {Q-Hearts} {9-Spades}

"Royal!" shouts Nguyen, again for no reason, and high-fives a railer -- much of the fuss accompanying this hand has been needless, and in a last, glorious, surreal act before departing, Nguyen hands his mid-position assassin a large plastic peanut.
