Featured Table: Scotty Nguyen Doubles Through Philip Hilm

Scotty Nguyen with Gavin Smith on Day 5
Scotty Nguyen with Gavin Smith on Day 5
Ray Henson has the button in seat 3, Philip Hilm raises under the gun to 300,000, and Scotty Nguyen calls from the small blind. The flop comes {10-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{5-Spades}, Nguyen checks, Hilm bets 400,000, and Nguyen calls. The turn card is the {9-Diamonds}, Nguyen checks, Hilm pushes, and Nguyen calls all in for 1.92 million.

Hilm shows {K-Diamonds}{Q-Spades} for a gut-shot straight draw with two overcards. But the crowd explodes in a cheer as Scotty Nguyen shows {9-Clubs}{9-Spades} for a full house on the turn. Philip Hilm is drawing dead.

The meaningless river card is the {J-Hearts}, and Hilm rivers his king-high straight -- but it's too little, too late, and Scotty Nguyen wins the pot to double up to 5.43 million in chips.
