Minh Nguyen Eliminated in 22nd Place ($6,000)

Minh Nguyen - 22nd Place
Minh Nguyen - 22nd Place
Imad Elkerdi opened to 25,000 from under the gun and the action folded to Minh Nguyen in the small blind who moved all in for 77,000 in total. Elkerdi made the call.

Elkerdi: {A-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}
Nguyen: {A-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}

The flop left Nguyen in front as it arrived {A-Spades}{3-Hearts}{5-Hearts}, and Nguyen improved to two pair on the {10-Spades} turn. However the {2-Clubs} on the river gave Elkerdi the wheel and the pot to eliminate Nguyen from the tournament. He'll collect $6,000 for a 22nd place finish.
