Huge Flip Leaves Nguyen on Fumes, Eliminated Soon After
Level 15
: 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Juan Pardo opened to 8,000 in early position, and Badre Al Ghouch called on the button. Thi Xoa Nguyen then three-bet squeezed from the big blind for 36,000. Pardo four-bet all in for a stack of about 180,000 which was just covered by Nguyen.
Al Ghouch folded and Nguyen called.
Juan Pardo: 
Thi Xoa Nguyen: 
A king in the window of the 
flop brought Nguyen's participation in the tournament into jeopardy, and the 
turn and 
brought no help.
Nguyen was left with just 15,000 chips, and she was eliminated soon after in hugely disappointing fashion after starting the day with the third largest stack at the end of Day 1.
