[user66118]

Kenny Nguyen - 24th Place

First in from the hijack seat, Kenny Nguyen moved all in for his last little 159,000 chips. Ryan D'Angelo quickly called on the button, and Nguyen would be heads up (and dominated) for his tournament survival.

Showdown
Nguyen: {Q-Clubs}

{Q-Clubs}

{10-Clubs}

D'Angelo:

{A-Clubs}

{10-Diamonds}

The board would not save the at-risk player as it came {A-Diamonds}

{A-Diamonds}

{6-Diamonds}

{Q-Diamonds}

{8-Diamonds}

{8-Clubs}

. Everyone makes two pair, but D'Angelo's flush gets the best of that board.

With that, Kenny Nguyen becomes our first elimination of the day. He'll stop by the payout desk and grab a check for $75,000 on his way out the door, and now he has the rest of the day to spend on the beach.
