Nguyen Off to the Races

After a player open with a standard raise, another player three bet holding {7-}{7-}. Kenny Nguyen looked down at {A-Spades}{K-Spades} and decided to move all in. The original raiser folded while the other player made the call, creating a pot worth 19,000.

It was off to the races as the flop came down {Q-}{9-}{2-Spades}, leaving Nguyen wanting. The {7-Spades} turn was interesting as it gave the sevens a set, but Nguyen a flush draw. That flush draw was filled when the {9-Spades} spiked on the river; however, it also paired the board and improved the sevens to a full house.

Nguyen was knocked down to 6,000 after the hand.
