Qui Nguyen was first to act and raised to 1,000. Alexander Lynskey three-bet to 4,400 and Nguyen called.

When the flop came {J-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}, Lynskey check-called the 5,000 bet of Nguyen.

The turn brought them the {3-Diamonds} to complete the flush-draw. Lynskey check-called the 10,000 bet.

The river completed the board with the {9-Spades}, Lynskey checked once more. Nguyen shoved for about 38,000 which sent Lynskey into the tank. After going through all his options, Lynskey decided to make the call.

Qui Nguyen: {10-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}
Alexander Lynskey: {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}

Lynskey's pocket queens were good enough to knock the 2016 WSOP Main Event Winner out of the Shootout. Nguyen shook Lynskey's hand and made his way out.
