Nguyen Gone

Level 32 : 60,000/120,000, 20,000 ante
Men Nguyen
Men Nguyen

Men Nguyen has just lost two pots back-to-back to exit with Jeremiah Miesen benefiting the most.

Miesen had defended his big blind after Nguyen had raised from the hijack. The flop came down {2-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{j-Hearts}, the turn was the {7-Clubs}, and by the {2-Hearts}, both players had got all their chips into the middle.

Jeremiah Miesen: {a-Clubs}{6-Clubs}
Men Nguyen: {a-}{j-}

Miesen took the pot with the nut flush, and Nguyen was left extremely short after he had Miesen just covered.

In the very next hand, Nguyen got the rest of his chips into the middle with {7-Hearts}{2-Hearts} and was unable to survive to exit in 21st place for $27,661.

The action folded around to Vitaliy Neyman in the small blind, and he called. Arthur Conan was in the big blind, and he checked.
