McPeak Doubles Through Taitt; Nguyen Eliminated

Level 15 : 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Hung Nguyen
Hung Nguyen

John Taitt limped in under the gun and Hung Nguyen went all in for his last few chips from Taitt's direct left. John McPeak then went all in for about 30,000 from middle position and action made its way back to Taitt, who made the call. All three hands were then exposed.

Hung Nguyen: {3-Hearts}{3-Spades}
John McPeak: {a-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}
John Taitt: {q-Hearts}{6-Hearts}

The board ran out {10-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}, bringing two pair onboard to counterfeit Nguyen's threes and send him to the rail. McPeak's ace high remained best and he scored the double and a little more.
