Nguyen frustratedly folded to preserve his stack.

Men Nguyen:
Peter Neff:

After the dealer dropped the on the river, Nguyen's two pair of aces and nines were second best to Neff's aces and jacks, and in two fell swoops, Nguyen went from four million chips to zero and was headed to the payout window.
