Men "The Master" Nguyen
Men "The Master" Nguyen has been nursing the short stack for quite some time now. He has moved all in several times for between 20-30,000, but never gotten any takers. Each time, he was imploring his opponents to give him action with friendly banter: "Got to call," he said once when the big blind was debating his decision. "Two choices: Double me up or bust me," he said the next time.
Men finally found a spot where he could push and get some action. He got things started with a raise to 7,000 from early position. Andy Houson came over the top all in for 25,000 from mid position, and Frank Russo made the call in the big blind. Action came back to The Master, and he reraised all in for a total of 27,700, which Russo called as well. With the betting action complete, the hands were turned up:
Nguyen:
Houson:
Russo:
The board blanked off for Houson and Russo, and The Master triples his way up to 110,000 chips -- the most he's had in quite some time.
