Nguyen Flushed Away

Preflop, Bruce Nguyen opened to 20,000 from the cutoff with Angelo Prifti calling from the big blind.

On the {Q-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{A-Spades} flop, Prifti shoved for 99,000. Nguyen tanked for a good while before making the call with {A-Clubs}{q-Spades}. He was in front but would have to survive Prifti's {7-Clubs}{5-Clubs} flush draw.

It wasn't to be. The {9-Clubs} spiked on the turn, and although Nguyen had the re-draw to the flush on the river, he wasn't able to hit. The {7-Spades} harmlessly completed the board.

Prifti moves up to about 240,000. Nguyen is down to just 25,000.
