Two Birds with One Nygaard

Vegard Nygaard was responsible for two of those recent notable eliminations mentioned a few minutes ago, and both in the same hand.

He, Mike Matusow, and Gavin Smith were tangled up in a three-way pot. Matusow and Smith both got all their remaining chips in on the flop. The board ended up reading {4-Hearts} {3-Diamonds} {8-Hearts} {3-Hearts} {K-Clubs}.

Nygaard: {A-Hearts} {K-Clubs} {Q-Hearts} {J-Clubs}
Matusow: {A-Spades} {8-Spades} {7-Clubs} {2-?}
Smith: {A-?} {7-Hearts} {5-?} {2-Hearts}

Nygaard made a big flush on the turn, and he took down the pot, eliminating the other two pros from the field.
