Tri Nguyen Eliminated

Tri Nguyen - Eliminated
Tri Nguyen - Eliminated
Tri Nguyen has just become the latest Main Event casualty. Nguyen got the last of his chips in good before the flop holding {A-Spades} {J-Spades} against the {A-Hearts} {5-Hearts} of Ylon Schwartz.

By the turn, Nguyen was poised to double up as the board read {Q-Hearts} {3-Clubs} {2-Clubs} {8-Diamonds}. Nguyen had to fade a {5-?} or any {4-?} for the win. However, the river fell the {4-Diamonds} giving Schwartz a wheel and sending Nguyen to the rail.

Schwartz is up to just over 500,000 after the hand.
