Faulkner Busts to Nguyen But Promptly Re-Enters

Level 3 : 200/300, 300 ante

Shirin Oskooi, from two seasons of Survivor fame, raised to 600 from early position and Michael Faulkner moved all in for 6,300 next to act. When action reached Anthony Nguyen in the small blind he called, which prompted Oskooi to get out of the way.

Faulkner: {a-Spades}{k-Diamonds}
Nguyen: {9-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}

It was a flip but not after the {8-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{2-Hearts} flop gave Nguyen a set and left Faulkner drawing dead. The meaningless {q-Spades} was run out on the turn followed by the {10-Spades} on the river, and Faulkner headed for the registration desk to fire another bullet.
