Nguyen Doubles Up
Level 16
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Robert Nguyen raised all in from under the gun for his stack of 76,000. It then folded to Alexander Farahi on the button, who made the call. After the blinds folded it was the two players heads up, with Nguyen at risk.
Robert Nguyen: 6♥6♣ 
Alexander Farahi: A♦Q♥
It was a flip for Nguyen's tournament life, which he was ahead with his pocket sixes. The 3♣5♣K♠ flop changed nothing, but the 6♦ on the turn left Farahi drawing dead. Once the 7♠ came on the river Nguyen officially had the best hand with his set to secure the double up.
