Nguyen Takes Battle of Main Event Champs

Level 10
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Joe McKeehen raised to 4,000 on the button, Qui Nguyen three-bet to 12,500 in the small blind, and McKeehen called.
The flop came 8?A?Q?, and Nguyen bet 9,000. McKeehen quickly called to see the 8? turn.
Nguyen then bet 24,000, and McKeehen snap-folded as Nguyen took the pot, boosting his stack past 300,000.
