Nguyen Spikes River, Loses Pot

Level 2 : 50/100, 0 ante

Andrew Nguyen opened for 275 in late position and got the blinds to come along. The flop came {A-Spades} {5-Diamonds} {2-Spades}, the blinds checked, Nguyen bet 575 and only the big blind called. The turn came {10-Clubs}, the big blind checked and Nguyen bet 975. The big blind called after thinking it over for a short moment. The river came {9-Spades} and the big blind took action for the first time and bet 2,600.

Nguyen stacked out a call and shuffled some chips to think, he decided to call and tabled pocket nines for a rivered set. But the third spade gave his opponent a flush holding {3-Spades} {5-Spades} and nearly a straight flush.

Nguyen is still comfortable though with about 25,000.
