Oct 14, '15

Duey Duong raised to 180,000 from early position and action folded around to Xuan Nguyen in the big blind. He called to see a flop.

The dealer fanned QJA on the felt and Nguyen checked. Duong continued out for 200,000, sending Nguyen into the tank. After roughly two minutes, Nguyen came over the top for 525,000 total. Duong responded by three-betting the action to 1,235,000. This put Nguyen back in the tank, and after several more minutes he stood from the table. Another moment passed before he moved all in for 1,625,000 total. Duong instantly called and the hands were turned up.

Duong: KT
Nguyen: QJ

Duong led with an ace-high straight while Nguyen was left looking to turn his two pair into a full house on the turn or the river. Unfortunately for Nguyen, he was unable to improve with the 9 on fourth street or the 6 on fifth. He was eliminated in seventh place and collected $17,605 for his efforts.
