Level 24 : 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante
Steve Nguyen - 17th place
Steve Nguyen - 17th place

From early position, Steve Nguyen moved all in for 280,000 and the action folded all the way to Martin Godsk in the big blind. He peeked at his cards and then immediately called.

Nguyen: {A-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}
Godsk: {Q-Clubs}{Q-Spades}

After the {10-Hearts}{8-Spades}{J-Clubs} flop, Nguyen was wishing his opponent to hit a queen as that would have given him a straight. The {9-Hearts} turn improved the hand of Godsk to a straight and the {2-Spades} river saw Nguyen hit the rail in 17th place for $13,732.
