Nguyen Eliminates Player In Dramatic Fashion

We caught up in time to see a boatload of chips in the middle of the table. A player was all in and at risk holding {Q-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}. Unfortunately for that player, he was behind the {A-Spades}{A-Hearts} of Andrew Nguyen.

Nguyen was out in the lead before the flop, but quickly took a back seat on the {8-Spades}{Q-Clubs}{K-Spades} flop when the pocket queens made a set. The {10-Spades} turn brought Nguyen both straight and flush outs to win the hand.

In the end, Nguyen got there when the {J-Hearts} peeled off on fifth street. After he scooped the pot and stacked his chips, we clocked Nguyen at having around 50,000 in chips.
