Nguyen's Aggression Doesn't Pay Off
Level 16
: Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
With about 90,000 in the middle, the flop read 10♦6♣2♠, and Thi Nguyen checked to Ankit Ahuja who fired a bet of 40,000. Nguyen paused for a few moments before announcing all-in for 226,000. Ahuja had 220,000 and instantly called.
Ankit Ahuja: A♥10♥
Thi Nguyen: 5♦4♦
Nguyen couldn't spike a three for a straight as the board completed with the Q♠ on the turn and the 8♠ on the river.
