Scotty Nguyen Eliminated in 8th Place ($33,789)
We didn't catch the preflop action, but we do know that on a flop of things exploded between Scotty Nguyen and David "ODB" Baker that resulted in the former being all in for around 240,000.
Showdown
Nguyen:
Baker:
Both players had flopped trip threes, but Baker's ace kicker had him out in front. Nguyen needed some help if he was going to keep the hope of a sixth bracelet alive, but it was not to be as the turn and river blanked.
Nguyen, who finished runner-up in Event #24 $5,000 Omaha Hi-Low Split-8 or Better earlier this series, exited in eighth place with his second final table of the summer under his belt.
