Featured Table: Scotty Nguyen Doubles Through Philip Hilm

Ray Henson has the button in seat 3, Philip Hilm raises under the gun to 300,000, and Scotty Nguyen calls from the small blind. The flop comes {10-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{5-Spades}, Nguyen checks, Hilm bets 400,000, and Nguyen calls. The turn card is the {9-Diamonds}, Nguyen checks, Hilm pushes, and Nguyen calls all in for 1.92 million.

Hilm shows {K-Diamonds}{Q-Spades} for a gut-shot straight draw with two overcards. But the crowd explodes in a cheer as Scotty Nguyen shows {9-Clubs}{9-Spades} for a full house on the turn. Philip Hilm is drawing dead.

The meaningless river card is the {J-Hearts}, and Hilm rivers his king-high straight -- but it's too little, too late, and Scotty Nguyen wins the pot to double up to 5.43 million in chips.
