Massive Big Blind Special for Nguyen

Level 12 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

Trung Nguyen was in the big blind to start this hand. A player in early position was short stacked and shoved all in. Then, according to the table, another player reraised all in for around 60,000. A third player, the one in the small blind, also moved all in, and all of this happened before action was on Nguyen in the big blind.

"He should polish up his Oscar the way he was acting with kings," said TJ Cloutier about the small blind's "acting job" with {k-}{k-}.

Nguyen was in the big blind and woke up to the mother of all hands, the {a-Clubs}{a-Spades}. He quickly called and had the other three players covered. Not only was he up against pocket kings, but one player had {j-}{J-} and another had {A-}{Q-}.

The board ran out {6-}{3-}{q-}{2-}{9-}, and Nguyen's aces held to give him a massive stack and the chip lead.
