Nguyen Tanking Often

Nguyen: (X) (X) / {7-Clubs} {a-Diamonds} {5-Hearts} {k-Diamonds} / (X)
Billirakis: (X) (X) / {a-Clubs} {8-Spades} {q-Clubs} {k-Spades} / (X)

Since we came back from the last break, it seems that every time Men Nguyen is in a pot he is tanking on multiple streets. He recently played a pot against Steve Billirakis, calling bets from Billirakis on fourth street and fifth street.

On sixth street, Billirakis checked. Nguyen took about 60 seconds before checking behind. Billirakis led into Nguyen on the river, prompting what we can only describe as an epic tank. (This is limit poker, after all.) Nguyen tanked for three full minutes, prompting Michael Mizrachi to shake his head in disgust. Joe Cassidy finally called for a clock, and after another 40 seconds Nguyen folded.
