Scotty Nguyen Eliminated in 5th Place (£137,000)

Scotty Nguyen - 5th
Scotty Nguyen - 5th
With John Juanda raising it up to 45,000 from UTG, it was obvious Scotty Nguyen had the goods, his button push for a total of 84,000 meaning it would cost Mr WSOPE just 39,000 more. And with Jason Mercier stepping out of the way, Juanda made that obligatory call.

As Nguyen showed his {A-Clubs}{10-Spades}, Juanda teased his foe by announcing {A-Hearts}{K-Hearts} before showing {K-Hearts}{9-Hearts} with the mischievous smile of Bart Simpson making a prank call.

The {J-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{6-Hearts} flop was a dangerous one, and led to Juanda threatening, "You'll be drawing dead by the turn." Although his prediction failed to come into fruition on the Nguyen-friendly {A-Diamonds} turn, the {J-Hearts} river delivered the flush nonetheless and sent the former WSOP champ home.

Beam me up, Scotty.
