"The Master" Eliminated

Men "The Master" Nguyen
Men "The Master" Nguyen
On a board showing {5-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}, all Men "The Master" Nguyen could do was watch, as two other players at his table exchanged bets; Men was already all-in.

The turn and river came {3-Spades} and {Q-Clubs}, and the winning hand belonged to one of Men's opponents, who tabled pocket Queens for a set. Men mucked his cards and wished the table luck.

The winner of the hand stopped him before he left, saying, "Men -- thank you . . . . You are a gentleman and a scholar."
