Two Outs Enough for Van Nguyen

We came to Van Nguyen's table with the board already showing {4-Diamonds} {8-Hearts} {Q-Spades} {A-Spades}. It appeared that Nguyen bet 1,500 and was called by her one opponent. The river was the {Q-Diamonds} and brought another bet of 2,500 from Nguyen.

"Unbelievable," her opponent said as he debated a call. He finally tossed in a matching 2,500. Nguyen showed down trip quens, {K-Spades} {Q-Hearts}.

"What a suckout," Nguyen's opponent complained. He flashed {A-Hearts} {8-Clubs} for aces and eights, and mucked.
