Nguyen Fighting Back
Level 9
: 400/800, 100 ante
Huy Nguyen has been fighting an uphill battle all day. First, he was eliminated from the Day 1a flight and opted to re-enter here on 1b. Then, he was knocked down early and has been struggling to claw his way back into contention ever since.
In a recent hand, Nguyen opened for 1,250 from early position and received calls from a middle-position player and the hijack. All three players proceeded to check down each street as the board ran out 
, prompting the MP player to reveal 
for the winner. Despite losing that pot, Nguyen has chipped up to 15,000, which is almost double from when we checked on him last.
