Nguyen Sets Up Rickhuss Exit

Level 8 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

With a board showing {4-Clubs}{7-Spades}{q-Diamonds}{k-Hearts} and around 20,000 in the pot, Minh Nguyen checked his option. Wayde Rickhuss was the other player in the hand and he bet out 5,000 in chips. With the decision back on Nguyen he shoved a stack of 5,000-chips into the middle which forced Rickhuss all in. He committed his remaining 15,000 and both players tabled their cards.

Nguyen: {q-Spades}{q-Clubs}
Rickhuss: {a-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}

Unfortunately for Rickhuss his pocket aces had been out flopped by Nguyen’s pocket queens which had improved to a set. The {2-Clubs} on the river was no help as Rickhuss was sent to the rail just shy of the end of play.
Nguyen moves up to 88,000 in chips.
