Nguyen Makes "Three Pair"

Level 10 : 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Hung Nguyen
Hung Nguyen

Hung Nguyen opened to 4,000 in early position and action folded around to the player on the button, who called. Both players in the blinds folded and action went heads up to a flop of {8-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}. Action went check-check.

The turn came {8-Hearts} and Nguyen fired out a bet of 6,000. His opponent called and the river fell {9-Spades}. Both players checked once again to take the hand to showdown.

"Three pair," said Nguyen, showing {j-Spades}{j-Hearts} for an overpair to the two pair that was already on the board. His jacks up proved to be best as his opponent let out a playful groan and tabled {6-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}. "I finally got you," said Nguyen after the two finished a fun exchange that resulted in the table concluding that Nguyen's opponent missed because he had too many outs, especially after getting to the turn for free.

Nonetheless, Nguyen now finds himself over 150,000 and is one of the largest stacks in the room with six tables currently in play and around five minutes left in Level 10.
