Tracey Nguyen Eliminated

Tracey Nguyen went all in with her last 68,000 and was called by Phil Hellmuth. Nguyen had {K-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}, and Hellmuth {10-Spades}{10-Hearts}. The flop was {7-Spades}{8-Clubs}{6-Spades}, and the turn the {4-Hearts}. "A five wouldn't be bad," said Hellmuth. "I'd take it," said Nguyen. Sure enough, the {5-Diamonds} popped out, and Nguyen survived the hand with a chop. Hellmuth currently has about 495,000.

Soon after, though, Nguyen was all in again with {A-Hearts} {7-Diamonds}, but this time was up against Andy Schultz' {A-Clubs} {A-Spades}. No such luck this time for Nguyen, as the community cards came {Q-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}{6-Hearts}. She's out, and Schultz is up to 225,000.
