After having an up-and-down last couple of levels, former WSOP Main Event Champion Scotty Nguyen has finally seen his Seniors Event Championship run come to an end.

Nguyen raised from the cutoff and James 'Jim' Nelson moved all in from the button. Nguyen obliged with a call, and they were off to the races.

Scotty Nguyen: {10-Spades}{10-Diamonds}
James Nelson: {a-Clubs}{j-Clubs}

Board: {q-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}

A pair of jacks for Nelson on the flop was enough for him to win the pot and signal an end to Nguyen's deep run.
