Nguyen raised to 15K in the small blind and Mortensen called in the big. The flop came and Mortensen called Nguyen's 30K bet. When the hit on the turn Nguyen checked, Mortensen bet 40,000 and Nguyen check-raised to 100K. Mortensen called, and when the fell on the river they checked it down. Nguyen showed for the flopped two pair and Mortensen mucked. That pot lifted him to 800,000 and dropped the 2001 World Champion down to 180K.
