Men Nguyen

Continuing the Odyssey of Men, he has turned his 25 in chips into more like 2,000, an impressive feat indeed.

First he found that his two pair holding {10-Hearts} {9-Diamonds} {A-Clubs} {5-Hearts} on a {10-Spades} {2-Spades} {9-Clubs} {3-Hearts} {J-Spades} board was good, doubling him up to a heady 525.

Next hand, he got it all in preflop with two callers, including the big blind. Both callers checked the {A-Clubs} {3-Spades} {4-Spades} flop, but the big blind bet the {3-Clubs} turn, forcing the other player to fold. Men's {A-Spades} {5-Spades} {6-Clubs} {7-Hearts} was behind his opponent's {3-?} {2-?} {K-?} {Q-?}, although he seems to have misread his opponent's hand and thought he was ahead with a pair of aces until someone pointed out that his opponent had trip threes. Anyway, all change on the {A-?} river and Nguyen had won, catapulting him up to a vertiginous 1,900.
