Men Nguyen Survives

Men Nguyen and Barry Greenstein
Men Nguyen and Barry Greenstein
Men "The Master" Nguyen has just been saved from extinction for the time being, rapidly approaching the money bubble.

In a multi-way pot, Nguyen got it all in on the flop, and got Hilbert Shirey to look him up. The board came {10-Clubs} {7-Clubs} {J-Diamonds} {4-Spades} {3-Diamonds}. Shirey showed down {A-Clubs} {J-Spades} {Q-Spades} {Q-Clubs}, while The Master took it down with his {9-Clubs} {8-Diamonds} {5-Clubs} {A-Spades}. This was a timely double up for Nguyen, who is still alive, sitting at 16,000.
