Former Champ Scotty Nguyen Eliminated
Level 18
: 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante
Scotty Nguyen moved all in from early position for his last 73,000. Action folded to Jesse Decker, who called in the big blind.

Nguyen found some help on the 
flop, as he picked up a backdoor straight draw and some immediate outs to chop. The 
turn did him no good though, and the 
river was also a brick. He shrugged helplessly and headed for payouts.
With the departure of Nguyen, there are no longer any WSOP Main Event champions in the field.
