Scotty Nguyen - 50th place

The Prince of Poker is out of the tournament. Scotty Nguyen went for a soft play with {K-Clubs}

{K-Clubs}

{k-Diamonds}

after Sam Capra raised preflop to 12,000. With position, Scotty opted to smooth-call.

The flop came down a harmless-looking {4-Diamonds}

{4-Diamonds}

{8-Hearts}

{3-Clubs}

. Capra followed up his preflop raise with a flop bet of 20,000. Again Nguyen called, leaving himself only 14,500 behind. Those chips went into the middle after Capra checked the {5-Hearts}

{5-Hearts}

turn. Capra called, showing down {K-Hearts}

{K-Hearts}

{4-Hearts}

for a pair and a flush draw. The river {4-Spades}

{4-Spades}

drew a groan from spectators on the rail who were hoping to see Nguyen double up. They gave him a short ovation for his 50th-place finish in the tournament.

Capra is up to 250,000 in chips.
