Nguyne Lays Down a Hand

Kenny Nguyen's stack has slid all afternoon.

After the departure of Humberto Brenes, Kenny Nguyen took up the slack as not only the loudest player in the field but the one having the most fun as well. Nguyen and Taylor Shpur built a pot north of 10,000 going to the flop of {J-Diamonds} {6-Hearts} {J-Hearts}. Shpur checked, Nguyen bet out 4,500 and Shpur check-raised to 9,400.

Nguyen sat back in his chair for some thought. He folded his hand and said, "I'll lay this down," as he mucked his hand.

It might be the first hand we've seen him lay down in hours.
