Nguyen had flopped the nuts, but Stewart has outs to a chop with a ten or an outright win with any heart. The on the turn changes nothing, but it's the on the river. That makes Stewarts flush and earns him the pot while Nguyen is sent to the rail. He takes home the 3rd place prize of $85,055 for his efforts while Stewart has a monster chip lead heading into heads-up play.
