Alex Nguyen (Coral Springs, FL) 5th Place - $31,770

Only two hands after Nguyen doubled up Sam Panzica, Isaiah Goldman would limp from the button after folds from Gambino and Novak.  After Sam folded his small blind, Alex Nguyen (Coral Springs, FL) shoved his (12) big blind stack.  Goldman was seemingly expecting that exact action to pan out, as he snap-called and the hands were tabled:

Nguyen: Q♠ 5♠
Goldman: A K♣

Runout: 9♠ 4 8 3 2♠

While Alex held two live cards, he couldn't find any help from the runout.  Alex, a regular here at the Isle, earns himself the largest tournament score of his career ($31,770).  Play is now four-handed, with just over (15) minutes remaining on the clock.
