Nguyen Doubles Yet Again

This is becoming familiar. Men Nguyen gets short, then he doubles up, no problem. This time, he was down to 2.3 million when Jeff Papola raised to 240,000. Nguyen moved all in for another 2.1 million or so, and Papola looked him up.

Showdown
Nguyen: {a-Spades}{10-Diamonds}
Papola: {a-Hearts}{8-Spades}

The {k-Hearts}{q-Clubs}{3-Spades} flop added a straight draw to Nguyen's better kicker. And with the {9-Hearts} turn and {7-Hearts} river, Nguyen successfully doubled up to 4.1 million. That dropped Papola down to 4.4 million, making the two opponents closer than they've been the entire match.
