Defending MSPT POY Sent to the Rail in Bad Beat

Level 21 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante

Tuan Nguyen opened under the gun for 31,000 and action folded to reigning MSPT Player of the Year champ Pat Steele in the big blind. He told us he looked down at just the {A-Clubs} and moved all in for 97,000. Nguyen thought long and hard before calling with {8-}{8-}, and Steele looked at the other cards — the {A-Spades}!

Steele woke up with the goods, but it didn't amount to much as an eight on the flop gave Nguyen a set. The fourth eight appeared on the river to rub salt in the wound, and then Steele took his leave in 22nd place for $2,961.

Ashur Odishoo followed him out the door in 21st place a short time later, which means the final 20 players are now combining down to the final two table.
