Huy Nguyen Eliminated in 3rd Place ($186,265)
Ryan Eriquezzo moved all in from the small blind and put the pressure on Huy Nguyen, who only had 365,000 in the big blind. The latter made a quick call and was the favorite to double.
Showdown
Nguyen: 
Eriquezzo: 
Nguyen's supporters were optimistic, but their hope was drowned out when Eriquezzo's rail erupted on the 
flop. Their man had paired his king to take a commanding lead. Nguyen sat helplessly as the 
turn and 
river put an end to his National Championship run in third place.
