Nguyen All In and Dominated
Level 33
: 120,000/240,000, 30,000 ante
Khoa Nguyen moved all in from early position and received a call from Eoghan O'Dea in the cutoff. The rest of the players got out of the way, and Nguyen found himself in bad shape.
Showdown
O'Dea:
Nguyen:
Both players shared an ace, but the jack kicker of O'Dea put him out in front. The flop did open up some chop opportunities for Nguyen, as did the turn. Suddenly a deuce would win it for Nguyen, while any king, queen, ten, or three would allow him to chop.
Wouldn't you know it, the spiked on the river to keep Nguyen's dreams alive.
