Nguyen No More

Scotty Nguyen raised to 2,000 from under the gun, an opponent called from the cutoff, then the player in the big blind shoved all in for more than 30,000.

Nguyen called with his remaining chips -- 9,750 more -- and the third player called with his last 3,800, too.

Nguyen showed {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}, the player in the cutoff showed {A-Spades}{8-Spades}, and the big stack in the big blind {7-Clubs}{7-Hearts}.

The flop came {K-Spades}{3-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}, and Nguyen was still good. But the turn was the {7-Diamonds}, giving the big stack a set. The river was the {6-Spades}, and two players, including Nguyen, were eliminated at once.
