Nguyen Loses

Level 22 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante

First in from the small blind, Dung Nguyen shoved his last ~86,000 into the middle. James St. Hilaire was in the big blind with {K-Clubs} {9-Clubs}, and he made the call. It was good news for Nguyen as his {K-Spades} {10-Diamonds} were in a dominating position to double him up.

The {9-Spades} {6-Diamonds} {A-Diamonds} flop was a bad one, though, and the turn {6-Clubs} left Nguyen dead to three outs. The river {8-Hearts} wasn't one of them, and Nguyen is out in 30th place. With the knockout, St. Hilaire gets a much-needed chip boost to 260,000.
