Scotty Nguyen Eliminated

Scotty Nguyen just departed from today's event. Prior to the start of the the hand, Nguyen looked at me and said, "I've got 30,000, baby. Make sure you get that right."

Nguyen was under the gun and limped in, saying, "There you go. Come get some of that." He then looked at me again and said, "Watch this. 30,000, baby." A late-position player, the button, and the small blind all limped in and saw the flop.

Nguyen checked the flop of {9-Clubs}

. It was checked to the button, who bet 300. The small blind called and Nguyen called for his last 225. The late-position player folded. Nguyen said, "Pair the board, baby."

The turn of the {K-Hearts}

was checked around. Nguyen commented, "It's going to be a short day today, baby."

The river fell the {9-Diamonds}

and the small blind checked. The button then bet 500 and the small blind quickly called. The button showed {K-Clubs}

for a flush. The small blind folded and Nguyen got ready to muck his cards as well before showing A-A.

After the hand, several players came over to Nguyen, requesting autographs. He gladly obliged them.
