The Rich Get Richer

Kenny Nguyen is having no problems accumulating chips today. He called us over to tell us how he picked up another 50,000. Nguyen opened with pocket aces and his opponent reraised him. Nguyen four-bet to 3,700 and his opponent five-bet to 10,700.

Nguyen called and the flop came {J-} {8-} {5-}. The turn was a queen and Nguyen's opponent moved all in. Nguyen called and saw bad news when his opponent turned over {Q-} {Q-} for a set. But when you're running that good, of course an ace came on the river for Nguyen.
