Scotty Nguyen raised to 8,000 from under the gun, then Michael Pickett pushed all in for 14,500 from the small blind. Nguyen made the call to create the following showdown:

Scotty Nguyen: {a-Hearts}{j-Clubs}
Michael Pickett: {a-Clubs}{q-Hearts}

Nguyen had the dominated hand, and a {8-Clubs}{8-Spades}{2-Clubs}{q-Spades}{k-Hearts} runout brought him no help. Pickett is now up to 32,000.
