JC Nguyen
JC Nguyen

JC Nguyen opened to 110,000 from early position. Beau "Don K. Nado" Wilshire three-bet to 400,000 on his left. Back on Nguyen, he made the call, leaving himself with 450,000 behind.

The flop came out {3-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{q-Spades} and both players checked.

On the {2-Spades} turn, Nguyen led out for his last 450,000, sending Wilshire into the tank. Eventually, he landed on a call.

"Good call, I ain't got nothing," said Nguyen.

JC Nguyen: {a-Clubs}{5-Clubs}
Beau "Don K. Nado" Wilshire: {a-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}

Both players had ace high, so Nguyen needed to avoid a few outs to stay ahead. The {8-Hearts} finished the board and Wilshire was eliminated after Wilshire's hero call.
