Scotty Nguyen opened the betting, but folding saved his tournament. He put in the first raise before Andy Church moved all in on the second raise and Michael Tureniec put in the third raise. Nguyen decided to get out of the way, leaving Church and Tureniec to fight it out.

Church: {K-Diamonds} {K-Spades}
Tureniec: {A-Clubs} {K-Clubs}

The dealer spread out a flop of {9-Diamonds} {Q-Spades} {5-Hearts} that improved neither player. The turn {J-Diamonds} gave Church a bit more of a sweat. He needed to dodge the three remaining aces and four tens on the river, but couldn't do it. The river fell {10-Hearts} to give Tureniec the nut Broadway straight. Church's chips moved into Tureniec's stack, and Church moved out of the tournament area.

After the hand was over, Scotty Nguyen mentioned that he had folded pocket nines. His nines would have flopped a set, but would also have finished in third place behind the straights of the other two players.

"Scotty's got nine lives, baby," Nguyen remarked.
