Ryan Elson fired out a raise of 375,000. Scotty Nguyen took a deep breath and moved all in for 1,875,000. Elson went into the tank as he asked Nguyen to count out his chips. The rowdy spectators on the rail began to shout and scream. Most of them were rooting for Nguyen.

"Come on, Scotty!" one railbird yelled.

"Go get them Scotty!" another screamed.

"I'm the comeback kid," Nguyen said.

Nguyen stood up as Elson pondered the call.

"All In drink made me do it," Nguyen joked as he took a big sip off of the energy drink for the ESPN cameras.

Elson counted his chips a couple of times before he called and said, "Let's party."

Elson flipped over {10-Hearts}{10-Clubs}. Nguyen tabled {A-Spades}{Q-Hearts}. The flop was {A-Diamonds}{J-Clubs}{8-Spades} and Nguyen took the lead. Nguyen pumped his fist and his smile grew wider. Elson just sighed as he politely asked the dealer for a ten. The turn was the {5-Hearts} and the river was the {6-Hearts}.

Scotty Nguyen took down the pot and increased his stack to almost 3.8 million. Elson took a big hit and slipped to under 3 million.
