Nguyen Leads River into Masih's Set
Level 8
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
With around 10,000 chips in the pot on a flop of 4♦7♠10♣, Lars-Magne Johansen checked from the small blind and Tommy Nguyen also knuckled the table from the cutoff. Scott Masih fired 3,000 on the button, Johansen folded, and Nguyen called.
On the 5♦ turn, Nguyen checked, Masih bet 6,400, and Nguyen called.
An A♦ landed on the river and after thinking for a while, Nguyen led out for 20,000. It took all of two seconds for Masih to call and he revealed a set with 5♥5♠, which gave Nguyen the opportunity to muck without revealing his cards.
