3rd, Hung Nguyen -$4,222

Hung Nguyen (Hillsborough, NJ) doesn't go wire to wire on day 2 of the limit tournament and finishes third in the 127 man field.

Nguyen goes out when his (5 6) loses to Norman Whiteley (Newark, DE) and his (5 8) when both players make a straight on a board of [3 4 K] [6] [7], but Whiteley's 8 makes a higher straight for the knockout.

"I played solid, aggressive," says Nguyen who began the day as the chip leader and collects $4,222 for third place.

Whiteley is heads up with Al Riccobono (Ossining, NY) and is even in chips.
