The Master Avoids Disaster

While waiting for his cocktail, Men "The Master" Nguyen opened to 5,500 from middle position and a player behind three-bet to 14,000. Another player moved all-in for 33,400 and action folded back to Nguyen who painstakingly folded.

The player stuck in between them called and tabled {A-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}. The player who shoved had {Q-Spades}{Q-Clubs} The Master flashed his hole cards and they were ace-king suited.

The flop fell {K-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{2-Hearts} and Nguyen was quite upset. The {J-Spades} on the turn was a brick, but the {Q-Hearts} slammed on the river solidifying the suck and re-suck.

The Master chose not to gamble in that spot, and the decision paid off.
