For the Nguyen (But Woelful Not Woeful)
Brian Nguyen just earned a huge double-up through Wade Woelfel in a hand that saw Woelfel raise, Nguyen reraise-shove, and Woelfel call. Nguyen had and Woelfel . The flop came to give Nguyen a set. Then the turn improved Nguyen's hand to an unbeatable full house, making the on the river too little too late for Woelfel.
Woelfel counted up his stack of more than 200,000 afterwards, declaring he wasn't worried and that he still had plenty of chips to work his way back into contention.
"I'm going to win this," he said with a shrug. And the next hand was dealt.
