Hands #90-92: Nguyen Tank-Ships

Level 32 : 80,000/160,000, 20,000 ante

Hand #90: Jason Helder made it 320,000 from under the gun and Travis Rice called from the big blind. The flop came down {J-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} and both players checked. They did so again after the {8-Hearts} turned, allowing the {a-Diamonds} to finish the board. Rice bet 275,000 and Helder called.

Rice showed {A-Clubs}{9-Diamonds} for a winning straight, prompting a muck from Helder.

Hand #91: Kevin Eyster raised to 320,000 from the button and won the blinds and antes.

Hand #92: Chris Drake was under the gun and raised to 320,000. Khoa Nguyen called from the big blind. The two took a {10-Spades}{3-Hearts}{4-Clubs} flop and Nguyen checked. Drake checked it back, and both players checked once more after seeing the {9-Spades} on fourth street. The river was the {10-Diamonds} and Nguyen went into the tank. Almost two minutes passed while Nguyen sat pondering his action.

"You don't have anything on that board," said Nguyen lowly.

After that, he moved all in for approximately 1.75 million. Drake folded and Nguyen took the pot.
