And Quiet Flows the Don

After making a deep run through Event #16 ($10,000 Heads-Up No-Limit Hold'em) earlier in this 2013 World Series of Poker, where he finished in 2nd place to Mark Radoja, Don Nguyen is here today trying his hand in yet another big buy-in event.
Unfortunately for Nguyen, he was unable to recapture the magic of his heads-up run in a recent hand, dropping nearly half of his starting stack in the process.
We caught the action on the flop, with the board reading 
, and Ron Minnis with a bet of 700 in front of him. Nguyen thought things over for a moment, before calling to see the 
arrive on the turn. Minnis immediately led out again, this time for 1,000, and again Nguyen called.
On the 
river, Minnis rolled a bet of 4,000 into the pot, and Nguyen went into the tank, counting his stack and looking across the table with a quizzical expression.
"You can fold," said Minnis, leaning back in his chair. "You're making my heart pump over here."
With this apparent tell motivating him, Nguyen elected to look Minnis up, but he quickly mucked when he saw the 
for a full house on the river.
