Yu Loses Chips to Nguyen

Level 15 : 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

The flop read {3-Spades}{a-Clubs}{k-Clubs} with around 300,000 in the middle already.

Nang Quang Nguyen bet 90,000 from the small blind and Lei Yu called in the cutoff.

They both checked through the {5-Spades} on the turn to the {5-Diamonds} on the river. Nguyen fired a bet of 375,000 into the pot and Yu called after contemplated it for a bit. Nguyen tabled {a-Hearts}{k-Spades} for the flopped two pair and that was more than enough to get Yu to muck his hand.

The board ran out {q-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{a-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{4-Hearts} for Yu to hit two pair on the flop to double up with as he ran to his rail to celebrate once the river was dealt.

Nguyen Makes the Right Call

Level 15 : 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Nang Quang Nguyen raised to 60,000 from the button and Lester Edoc defended his big blind.

They both checked through the {7-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{q-Diamonds} flop to the {4-Spades} on the turn. Edoc led out for 70,000 and Nguyen made the call.

The river completed the board with the {3-Spades}. Edoc fired a bet of 185,000 over the line which sent Nguyen into the tank. After using a time bank, Nguyen cut out calling chips, took a few more seconds, and then made the call. Edoc tabled {7-Spades}{5-Spades} for the pair of sevens but Nguyen held {j-Hearts}{j-Clubs} for the higher pair to scoop the pot.
