Event 17 (Day 1B): Nguyen With The Win

Level 8 (Blinds 300/600/75)
Total Entries: 107

Hieu Nguyen (Fairfax, VA)

Hieu Nguyen (Fairfax, VA) just tripled up over at Table 28, as Nguyen and Jonathan Ivy were at risk against John O'Brien (all-in on the flop):

Flop: 4♠ 9♠ 10♥

Nguyen: Q♠ Q♦
O'Brien: A♠ 8♠
Ivy: K♥ 10♣

Turn: 2♥
River: J♥

Nguyen's pocket queens would hold against the two players, giving him the main pot worth over 75,000.  Ivy would win the side pot with his pair of tens, and ended up just breaking even (40,000).
