Nguyen the Backdoor Specialist
Level 17
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Level 14: Blinds 3,000/6,000/6,000
Before the flop, Cuong Pham opened to 22,000 from the small blind and Joe Nguyen moved all in from the big blind, which Pham called to put him at risk.
Joe Nguyen: A♣K♥
Cuong Pham: A♠K♠
The outcome was expected to be a chopped pot, but the deck had other plans as the runout came J♥Q♥9♦4♥A♥ to give Nguyen the running nut flush to take down the pot for the unlikely double.
