Albert Nguyen is a local regular player who enjoys playing the events at Playground. He has good skill and is not afraid to play hands and to make moves.

He started the final table in the middle of the pack, and watched his stack take a hit or two as play moved on. James Bridgeman opened and Albert looked down at his hole cards and moved all in for 526,000, and was called by Bridgeman. Albert had 88, and Bridgeman had the Big Slick (AK).

The board ran out , and Bridgeman took almost all of Nguyen’s stack. Nguyen busted on the next hand in 6th place and collected $3,130 for his afternoon of tournament poker.
