"I've Been Punting To You the Whole Time"

Level 10 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Kenny Nguyen

Michael Hinde was in middle position and called an under-the-gun raise to 2,600. From there, action folded around to Kenny Nguyen, who defended his big blind and the three saw a flop of {j-Spades}{k-Clubs}{9-Hearts}. Action checked to Hinde, who reached for chips.

"Easy!" said Nguyen. Hinde bet 6,300 and only Nguyen called. The turn came {3-Diamonds} and Nguyen checked again. Hinde continued, firing another 14,000 forward. Nguyen studied Hinde a bit and then put out matching chips to call.

The river fell {10-Clubs} and Nguyen said he mentioned that he was going to be the one to take the lead and bet. He put out 8,000 and Hinde thought for a few minutes before raising to 20,000. Nguyen called.

Hinde showed {7-Clubs}{6-Clubs} for complete air and Nguyen turned over {q-Hearts}{10-Spades}. His flopped nuts (and eventual second nuts) was more than enough to draw some reaction from both players.

"I've been punting to you the whole time!" Hinde said as both players laughed and regained focus for the next hand.
