Edison Nguyen Eliminated in 3rd Place (AU$69,300)

We can only imagine the thoughts going through Edison Nguyen's head right now. He raised to 35,000 from the button and was called by big blind Ben Delaney. On a flop of {3-Diamonds}

, Delaney led out for 50,000. Nguyen made the call.

On the turn {8-Diamonds}

, Delaney considered his decision and opted to bet 120,000. He then sank back in his chair, with both hands to the sides of his face. It seemed to be a submissive posture, and it may have produced the intended effect. Edison Nguyen moved all in for more than 350,000 and Delaney snap-called. He showed down {Q-Diamonds}

for the turned flush. Nguyen had a few outs, showing {A-Clubs}

for two pair, but he missed the river {6-Clubs}

and was sent crashing to the rail in third place. His reward is AU$69,300.

We're now on a short break before heads up play commences. Ben Delaney was one of the bounty players in this tournament - one of these two players will walk away with an extra AU$1,000 in addition to the first place prize!
