Nguyen Hits the River to Crack Meister's Aces
Level 16
: Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Alfredo Vega Meister got his last 30,000 into the middle preflop with Hoa Nguyen trying to bust him.
Alfredo Vega Meister: A♣A♥10♦2♣ 
Hoa Nguyen: K♣K♦5♥5♣
Meister was in great shape with aces against the kings of Nguyen. The 3♠Q♣8♣ flop kept Meister firmly in the lead, having the higher flush draw. A 8♠ rolled off on the turn and Meister was one card away from doubling up. A brutal 5♦ fell on the river to give Nguyen a full house, and all of Meister's chips headed over to him.
