Scotty Sent Packing

We heard the announcer from the main stage say that Scotty Nguyen was all in, so we ran over to investigate. When we got there, we saw that Nguyen got it in with {7-Spades}{7-Hearts} on a flop of {4-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{5-Spades}. However, Nguyen was up against the {8-Diamonds}{8-Hearts} of Marc Karam. Nguyen would need a ton of help to survive, but the board ran dry for him, coming {2-Hearts} and {10-Spades}.

Nguyen wished everyone good luck, and as he left the stage, a spectator yelled "Love you Scotty." Nguyen quickly responded "Love you too baby!" as he left the mothership.
