Nguyen Sets Up Navarro to Double Into the Chip Lead

Just before the level went up, Valentin Navarro had been playing an aggressive game, often over-betting pots by moving all in, and for a while it was working like a charm. That all came to a sudden halt however at the hands of Tiffany Nguyen.

There was around 30,000 in the pot and a flop of when Nguyen checked from the big blind. Another player did the same before Navarro bet 25,000. Nguyen called and the other player got out of the way.

Nguyen then checked for the second time on the turn. Navarro went for his patented over-bet shove but this time Nguyen snapped him off putting in her remaining 281,000.

Nguyen had flopped bottom set and was guaranteed to double as Navarro was drawing dead with ace high. The river made it official, and Nguyen pulled in a chip-leading pot worth 645,000.
