Hand #26: Peter Nguyen

Shamus

Chad Siu had the button. It folded to Peter Nguyen, who completed from the small blind. Rasmus Nielsen raised an additional 55,000 -- just what he did the last time Nguyen tried to limp in to see a flop with him. Last time, Nguyen folded, but this time he called.

The flop came {6-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{J-Clubs}. Both checked. The turn was the {7-Diamonds}, and both checked again. They also checked the {3-Hearts} on the river.

Nguyen showed {9-Clubs}{8-Clubs} for a pair of nines. Nielsen showed {K-Spades}{Q-Spades}, and Nguyen took the pot.

The Rasmus Show

Rasmus Nielsen has raised five out of the last nine hands and has found no one who wishes to tangle with him. He's playing very aggressive, big-stack poker and it appears to be working very well. Currently, Rasmus has a 2:1 chip lead over JC Tran, who is second in chips, and nearly a 4:1 chip lead over everyone else.

Hand #25: Rasmus Nielsen

J.C. Tran had the button. Rasmus Nielsen raised to 80,000 from under the gun. It folded to Jesper Hoog, who sat in contemplation for a minute or so. He rechecked his cards, then folded.

Everyone else folded as well, giving Nielsen the hand.

Hand #23: John Conroy

Jesper Hoog had the button. Peter Nguyen raised to 80,000 from middle position, and it folded to John Conroy, who moved all in for 533,000 total from the small blind. J.C. Tran folded from the big blind, and the action was back on Nguyen.

Nguyen exhaled, then began counting out his chips. A call here would require over half of his stack. Finally he folded, tossing his cards in such a way that an ace was visible. Conroy took the pot.
