"I wouldn't let my fans down, baby!"

Hevad Khan
Hevad Khan
...said Scotty Nguyen after winning a coinflip to eliminate Hevad Khan from the tournament.

Khan moved his chips into the middle holding a pocket pair of nines and Scotty looked him up with the {A-Clubs} {J-Hearts}. Scotty managed to spike not one, but two jacks to best Hevad's nines as the board filled out {J-Spades} {6-Spades} {10-Hearts} {J-Diamonds} {K-Hearts}, giving Scotty trips.

Scotty will face Ted Forrest in tomorrow's Round of 32.
