Nguyen Falls to Chau

Level 20 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

We arrived in time to find Steven Nguyen three-bet ship for 90,000 over an open to 22,000. Action folded to Thanh Chau in the blinds and he called the all-in raise. The original raiser folded and the hands were turned over.

Nguyen: {K-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}
Chau: {A-Diamonds}{A-Clubs}

Nguyen needed help heading to the flop to best Chau's aces. Unfortunately for Nguyen, the flop came down {J-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{4-Spades}, giving him little hope for survival. The {2-Spades} on the turn sealed Nguyen's fate and the {3-Clubs} finished off the board. He was eliminated from play and Chau boosted his stack to 320,000.
