Floating the Master

[user33020]
[user33020]
Men Nguyen is down to 2,500 after perhaps being floated out of a pot. Preflop, with Nguyen in the big blind, the hijack made it 300 and Nguyen called.

The flop came {5-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}. Nguyen bet out 250 and the hijack player called.

Nguyen was called again -- this time for 600 -- after a {6-Clubs} turn.

The {5-Hearts} river put two pair on the board. Nguyen checked, the hijack bet 1,500, and Nguyen folded. The hijack showed {A-Diamonds}{8-Hearts} for the busted straight draw and the probable river bluff, though whether his opponent's ace was good, only Nguyen knows.
