Nguyen:

Patti was heading toward the flop, looking for a big time double up. The dealer laid out a flop and Nguyen took the lead with his pair of kings. Patti would once again need a three-outer to save his tournament life. The turn gave Patti nine more outs with a flush draw. The river gave Nguyen the check mark and Patti was eliminated.
