Bruce Nguyen Eliminated in 16th Place ($9,000)

Bruce Nguyen - 16th Place
Bruce Nguyen - 16th Place
The action folded to Bruce Nguyen in the cutoff position who moved all in for his last 132,000 but Michel Bouskila took one look at his hole cards in the big blind before insta-calling.

Nguyen: {A-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}
Bouskila: {A-Spades}{A-Clubs}

Nguyen had escaped death on multiple occasions but this was going to be one tricky escape act. It wasn't to be, as the board fell {Q-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{9-Hearts} to eliminate Nguyen in 16th place right on the pay jump to $9,000 in prize money.
