Nguyen Finishes Out Level 1 Strong

Level 1 : 50/100, 0 ante

Tyler Corbett and Cuong Van Nguyen butted heads on the first hand of the day, so it was only fitting they'd clash once more at the tail end of Level 1.

It happened when Corbett limped from the hijack and then called when Nguyen raised to 350 from the small blind. The {6-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} flop saw Nguyen bet 600, Corbett call, and the {2-Hearts} appear on the turn. Nguyen bet 1,200, Corbett called, and the {3-Hearts} completed the board on the river.

Nguyen slowed down with a check, and Corbett bet 3,500. Nguyen snap-called and Corbett sheepishly showed the {9-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}, which prompted Nguyen to table the {10-Hearts}{10-Spades} for the win.
