Quang Nguyen Eliminated in 6th Place ($52,500)

Quang Nguyen - 6th Place

Action folded to Yevgeniy Timoshenko on the button, who raised to 30,000 as he so often has this afternoon. Quang Nguyen and Julio Diaz both called out of the blinds.

The flop was all Broadway cards, {q-Hearts} {a-Spades} {10-Hearts}. Nguyen and Diaz checked to Timoshenko, who bet 50,000. Nguyen was the only caller. He checked again when the turn came {5-Diamonds}. Timoshenko considered his alternatives before betting 110,000. Nguyen quickly check-raised all in, prompting Timoshenko to ask for a count. Once the dealer counted down Nguyen's stack and announced it as 357,000, Timoshenko called.

Nguyen: {A-Hearts} {4-Hearts}
Timoshenko: {Q-Spades} {10-Spades}

Timoshenko's two pair, queens and tens, were ahead of Nguyen, but any four, five, ace, or heart would make Nguyen the winner. That didn't happen; the river was the {7-Clubs}. Timoshenko collected another monster pot to move over the million-chip mark, and Nguyen collected $52,500 at the payout table.
