FSPC Event #14 (Day 2): It's All Over Baby...Scotty Nguyen Eliminated In 59th Place ($2,680)

2018 Florida State Poker Championship
Event #14 | $1,500 No Limit Hold'em ($500,000 GTD)
Level 17 (Blinds 3,000/6,000/6,000)
Total Event #14 Entries: 564
Event #14 Players Remaining: 58


Scotty Nguyen (Las Vegas, NV) may have fell short of his ultimate goal, but he does add his first ever Isle Casino Pompano Park cash to an already incredible resume.

After Jonathan Jaffe opened the action for a raise at Table 1, players would fold around to Scotty Nguyen, who shoved on the button (85,000).  The blinds folded behind, with Jaffe quickly making the call:

Nguyen: J♠ J
Jaffe: K♠ K

Runout: Q♠ Q A A♣ 8

Scotty would be in bad shape when the cards were tabled, and after whiffing the flop, he'd need to hit a two-outer on the turn or river.  No jack would appear on the final streets, and the former WSOP Main Event champ would be eliminated in 59th place ($2,680).  Scotty's presence in the tournament was enjoyed by almost all of the players he shared the table with, as he brought life to the felt.
