No More Men

No, this isn't a post about the Ladies Event. It is reporting the ouster of Men Nyguen.

We caught up to this one with the board showing {7-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{A-Spades}. Nyugen, who won his seventh WSOP bracelet earlier this summer in Event No. 10, the $10,000 Seven-Card Stud Championship, pushed the rest of his stack in and was called by Richard Ashby.

Ashby held {6-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{3-Clubs} for the straight, and Nguyen tabled {A-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} for two pair, a flush draw, and a shot at a better straight. The dealer burned one and turned over the river card -- the {Q-Spades} -- and Nguyen is out.

Delivering that river card wasn't the only thing the dealer had done that Nguyen didn't like. Apparently there had been an error of some sort -- either earlier in the hand or previously -- that Nguyen reminded the dealer about before leaving. No eighth bracelet in this one for Nguyen. Meanwhile, Ashby now has 27,000.
