. 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
turn. Capra called, showing down
for a pair and a flush draw. The river
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.
