Event 13: Justin Nguyen - 11th Place

$350 + $50 Big Stack NLH

Justin Nguyen - 11th Place - $1,651

Justin Nguyen was card dead for three straight hours. About to be blinded out, looking for a hand, he looked at the first card, saw an ace, and shipped.

Small blind Ryan Meyers snaps off and shows A-Q. Justin's kicker was only a 3.

Both see a club heavy flop of A-10-9. Justin improves on the turn, hitting his three for two pair.

Except it's a club so now he has a sweat as Meyers is sitting on the Queen of clubs.

Sure enough a club falls and Nguyen is four flushed out of Event 13.

Justin admitted he's been playing 48 hours straight of poker. This is his second cash as he took 3rd in the $1000 NL event last week.

He also accused a couple players at his table for playing soft as he claims they kept checking their blinds down to each other, even with two pair. Nobody wanted to be the final table bubble but it popped on Justin's watch.

Congrats on your second 2011 Borgata Poker Open cash - this one for $1,651.

Now go get some sleep!
