The flop came {2-Clubs}

. Nguyen bet 175,000, Conroy quickly moved all in. It would be 360,000 for Nguyen to call.

Nguyen stood up and leaned over his chips. He had just 670,000 left, so to call and lose this hand wouldn't leave him much with which to continue.

Finally, after three minutes, Nguyen folded.
