Blind Cooler For Bruce Nguyen

William Skountzos is the new chipleader
William Skountzos is the new chipleader
In a battle of the blinds William Skountzos raised to 6,000 from the small blind and Bruce Nguyen popped it up to 16,000 from the big blind. Skountzos responded by shoving all in and Nguyen paused for a quick moment before making the call.

His {A-Clubs}{q-Clubs} was definitely going to need some help against the {k-Hearts}{k-Clubs} of Skountzos though.

It didn't arrive, the flop came {8-Hearts}{8-Spades}{5-Diamonds}. The turn was the {9-Diamonds} and the river was the {8-Clubs} to make Skountzos a boat that would sail him into the chip lead.

After the hand Skountzos moved to 300,000. Bruce Nguyen has slid all the way down to just 90,000. He'll be hoping to get off the slide very soon.
