Nguyen Turns Set to Cripple Steen

We caught the action on the turn with the board reading {9-Spades}{J-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}, with Quang Nguyen checking to Yngve Steen who fired 20,000 into the already huge pot. Nguyen then check-raised all in for an additional 32,300 chips, sending Steen into the tank.

He stood for several minutes as the two players exchanged some friendly banter about who held the jack.

In the end Steen made the call and it turned out neither held a jack as Steen tabled {Q-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds} for an overpair but trailed the {5-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} of Nguyen for a turned set.

The river was the {10-Clubs} giving Nguyen a massive pot worth close to 150,000. Steen was crippled and eliminated a few moments later.
