Nguyen Wins One to Bust Fletcher
Level 15
: Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Qui Nguyen raised to 10,000 from early position. Clayton Fletcher called in the hijack, Maxim Lykov called on the button, and, Brian Wood called from the big blind.
The four players took a flop of Q♣10♥7♦. When action checked to Nguyen, he bet 17,000. Fletcher then bumped it up to 43,000. The other two remaining players folded, but Nguyen moved all in for the rest of Fletcher's stack. Fletcher paused a bit before calling.
Clayton Fletcher: Q♦K♣ 
Qui Nguyen: A♥K♦
Fletcher was way ahead and found the safe 6♠ on the turn. However, the river A♣ gave the pot to Nguyen and eliminated Fletcher from the tournament.
