Nguyen Applying Pressure

Action began when Bolivar Palacios made it 53,000 from the cutoff and was flat called by Khoa Nguyen from the button. Marc-Andre Ladouceur decided to three-bet the action from the small blind, making it 148,000 to go. Both players called and there were three to the flop.

The flop came {8-Hearts}{10-Spades}{2-Spades} and Ladouceur continued out with a bet of 165,000. Palacios tanked for over a minute before finally mucking his hand. Rather quickly, Nguyen counted out chips for a raise and pushed 435,000 into the middle. Ladouceur made the call and the turn came {6-Hearts}. Ladouceur checked and Nguyen shoved out a bet of 750,000.

Ladouceur eventually tossed his hand and Nguyen scooped a nice sized pot, bringing him over 3,400,000 in chips.
