Nguyen and Do Chop

Level 5 : 200/400, 50 ante

A decent sized pot played out between Van Sang Nguyen, Hoang Long Do and Antii Halme and while the result was a rather anti-climatic chop the hand was an interesting one.

We picked up the action on a {4-Spades}{a-Clubs}{j-Hearts}{k-Hearts} board with over 3,400 in blinds and antes in the pot just as Nguyen (big blind) checked the action over to Do, who led for 1,500.

Antii Halme (middle position) made the call before Nguyen check-raised to 4,500. Do thought for nearly the full 30-seconds before making the call and Halme folded to take the action heads-up to the {q-Spades} river.

With four to a straight out there Nguyen now checked and Do quickly bet 15,000. Nguyen then check raised again, quickly moving all-in and was called instantly.

Nguyen turned over {q-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} for the turned Broadway straight and seemed disgruntled to find that Do had dodged a bullet after he turned over {a-Spades}{10-Clubs} for the rivered straight and the pot was divved up.

Singapore’s Sathesh Kumar Muthu and Russia's Konstantin Pogodin joined the tournament shortly afterward to grow the field to 24 though only 22 of these remain in the running.
